Reviews for Brussels, the Gentle Monster: Or the Disenfranchisement of Europe
For 50 years, time and again Enzensberger has posed the right questions to German society.... No one should ever believe Enzensberger is on his side. Whenever someone makes a clear distinction between Good and Evil, Enzensberger will jump out of cover and shout: It's not that simple. (Florian Illies, Die Zeit)
