  • Bruce Bawer, (Nova York, 31 d'octubre de 1956) és un assagista, escriptor i periodista estatunidenc, que viu a Europa des de 1998. Col·labora habitualment en publicacions tan rellevants com The New York Times, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, o The Washington Post, entre d'altres. És també autor de diversos llibres, com A Place at the Table: The Gay Individual in American Society, Prophets and Professors: Essays On the Lives and Work of Modern Poets i Stealing Jesus: How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity. La seva obra més recent és While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within. Va ser nominat per al Premi el 2006 en la categoria de crítica. El 1998 Bawer es va traslladar des de Nova York a Amsterdam, on considerava que es trobaria en un ambient més liberal i favorable per a ell i la seva parella homosexual. Fugint del creixent fonamentalisme cristià nord-americà, es va trobar per a la seva sorpresa amb un altre fonamentalisme en la seva opinió molt pitjor: el fonamentalisme islàmic que s'estenia als seus ulls per Europa. Ha viatjat per diferents capitals europees, que li van donar peu a la seva obra sobre la crisi democràtica europea, que ha denominat "moment Weimar", fent una analogia de les actuals polítiques europees enfront de l'islamisme amb les polítiques d' dels anys 1930 enfront de l'ascens del nacionalsocialisme a Europa. Actualment viu a Oslo (Noruega). (ca)

  • Theodore Bruce Bawer (born October 31, 1956) is an American writer who has been a resident of Norway since 1999. He is a literary, film, and cultural critic and a novelist and poet, who has also written about gay rights, Christianity, and Islam. Bawer's writings on literature, gay issues and Islam have been seen as both controversial and affirming. While championing such authors as William Keepers Maxwell Jr., Flannery O'Connor, and Guy Davenport, he has criticized such authors as Norman Mailer and E. L. Doctorow. A member of the New Formalists, a group of poets who promoted the use of traditional forms, he has assailed such poets as Allen Ginsberg for what he views as their lack of polish and technique. Bawer was one of the first gay activists to seriously propose same-sex marriage, especially in his book A Place at the Table (1993). While Europe Slept (2006) was one of the first to skeptically examine the rise of Islam(ism) and Sharia in the Western world, and The Victims' Revolution (2012) was an early criticism of academic identity studies. Although he has been described as a conservative, by some, Bawer has often argued that such labels are misleading or reductionist. He has explained his views as follows: "Read A Place at the Table and Stealing Jesus and While Europe Slept and Surrender one after the other and you will see that all four books are motivated by a dedication to individual identity and individual freedom and an opposition to groupthink, oppression, tyranny."

While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within (2006) ha sido traducida al castellano con el título Mientras Europa duerme. De cómo el islamismo radical está destruyendo Occidente desde dentro (Gota a gota, Madrid, 2007). Fue nominado para el Premio en 2006 en la categoría de crítica. En 1998 Bawer se trasladó desde Nueva York a Ámsterdam, donde consideraba que se encontraría en un ambiente más liberal y favorable para él y su pareja homosexual. Huyendo del creciente fundamentalismo cristiano estadounidense, se encontró para su sorpresa con otro fundamentalismo en su opinión mucho peor: el fundamentalismo islámico que se extendía a sus ojos por Europa. Ha viajado por distintas capitales europeas, que le dieron pie a su obra sobre la crisis democrática europea, que ha denominado "momento Weimar", haciendo una analogía de las actuales políticas europeas frente al islamismo con las políticas de apaciguamiento de los años 1930 frente al ascenso del nacionalsocialismo en Europa. Actualmente vive en Noruega. (es)
