Bruce Bawer

Theodore Bruce Bawer (born October 31, 1956) is an American-Norwegian writer. Born and raised in New York, he has been a resident of Norway since 1999 and became a citizen of Norway in 2024. He is a literary, film, and cultural critic and a novelist and poet, who has also written about gay rights, Christianity, and Islam.

Bawer proposed same-sex marriage in his book ''A Place at the Table'' (1993). ''While Europe Slept'' (2006) skeptically examined the rise of Islamism and sharia in the Western world, and ''The Victims' Revolution'' (2012) was a criticism of academic identity studies.

He has been described as a conservative by some. Bawer has argued that such labels are misleading or reductionist. He said his views were "motivated by a dedication to individual identity and individual freedom and an opposition to groupthink, oppression, tyranny." Provided by Wikipedia
