One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway by Åsne Seierstad – review
Yesterday on BBC radio I listened to a remarkably hostile interview.
Not angry, not rude, the skilled female interviewer nevertheless badgered Asne Seierstad quite skilfully for reporting Breivik's horrible childhood and tormented adolescence in such a way as to call for compassion.
What? Compassion for such a fiend? How could she depict this man in such a way?
Seierstard never lost her cool and the interview as a whole was excellent and well worth listening to.
Ian Buruma's review is in that vein, missing no occasion to attack, vilify, belittle, disrespect, mock, and damn Breivik.
