Edmund White hat mal wieder für den Guardian hinter die Kulissen der USA geschaut:
" Europeans forget that one-third of the American people have had a
personal conversation with Jesus Christ and that the born-again are not
just little old ladies in black but also CEOs and provosts of
universities and candidates for office. The Republicans are the party of
the rich, of the top 1% of the population. If they are going to command
majorities, they must invent phony "moral" issues that will appeal to
their middle-class constituents. The assault against women's
reproductive rights is one such issue; a similar struggle against gay
marriage is the other leading issue in the culture wars."
Ich lese gerade seine Autobiographie City Boy. Zu empfehlen!
