96. You cannot find a single review?

Mon Feb 2, 2015, 07:34 PM

Feb 2015

Because I asked you to document that something happened, not that something didn't happen. It would indeed be a little difficult for Ulfkotte to prove that there are no reviews.

But you said the opposite, you claim his book wasn't ignored by the media. So, provided you did not just make that up (in addition to your other claim that you have already admitted to be false), it shouldn't be all that hard for you to tell us where you have seen a review.

I have tried to find one and can help you out - a little: I found the podcast of an interview: 'Wolfram Wessels im Gespräch mit Ulrich Teusch' on the radio program 'SWR2 Literatur'.

Close to the end, 10:20 minutes into the podcast, Wessels says 'It is amazing that the book hasn't been reviewed anywhere, at least I haven't seen it' ...
