    When I struggle to start writing about a book, the reason why is always the same: I have too much to say about it. I have had too many thoughts. I have responded in too many ways. I have spoken about it at length to too many people.* I couldn’t stop talking about this book over the past week. I was up in Edinburgh for a few days for the first weekend of the Festival, but no matter how many plays I saw, I wanted to talk about this. I was at an eight hour first aid course today, and all the discussion of injuries and medical techniques made me think of Utøya, the Norwegian island where, on July 22nd 2011, Anders Behring Breivik murdered 69 people, most of them teenagers. He also detonated a bomb in Oslo’s government district that killed eight people, and he calmly handed himself over to police when he knew his point had been made. Breivik was an extremist right-wing, anti-multicultural, anti-Islamist terrorist, and his attack was against Norway’s Labour party, who he deemed too liberal and open. He planned his attack for a while, and on the day nothing went wrong, no one stopped him and no one injured him. His crime was a deeply atrocious act of malevolent hatred against his country, against progressivism, against the modern world and against his own future.
