She's lived in New York for twenty years. Her book is absolutely dynamite. Written an Italian, she translated it into English and French herself. Her translations has been rediculed, but I found it delightful.
It's a very short book, and if you have never read anything by her, you will find many interesting surprises.
She has very interesting things to say about Arafat and Jane Fonda. She's hated by the American press (because she eats them up), but also by the Left, the Right, Muslims, and Roman Catholics. She is not always right, but she is ruthlessly honest and absolutely fearless. (Do you remember the Mexico City massacre, I think it was in 1968? She was shot three or four time and left in a morgue for dead.) Tough lady!
About the Muslims, she's absolutely right.
