Timur Vermes' record-breaking bestseller, Look Who's Back, is a satirical novel that imagines what would happen if Hilter reawakened in present-day Germany. The book was a massive success in Germany, selling more than 1.5 million copies. Janet Maslin of The New York Times called Look Who's Back"desperately funny . . . an ingenious comedy of errors."
In the novel, Adolf Hitler wakes up in 2011 from a 66-year sleep in his subterranean Berlin bunker to find the Germany he knew entirely changed: Internet-driven media spreads ideas in minutes and fumes celebrity obsession; immigration has produced multicultural neighborhoods bringing together people of varying race, ethnicity, and religion; and the most powerful person in government is a woman. Hitler is immediately recognized . . . as an impersonator of uncommon skill. The public assumes the fulminating leader of the Nazi party is a performer who is always in character, and soon his inevitable viral appeal begets YouTube stardom, begets television celebrity on a Turkish-born comedian's show. His bigoted rants are mistaken for a theatrical satire-exposing prejudice and misrepresentation-and his media success emboldens Hitler to start his own political party, and set the country he finds a shambles back to rights.
With daring and dark humor, Look Who's Back skewers the absurdity and depravity of the cult of personality in modern media culture.
##Look Who's Back: parasite 当羊群里混着一只披着羊皮的狼 当所有人都一叶障目 死到临头了还一笑置之的时候 毕加索的视角可以是美 但所有人都处在一个扭曲的空间时 对与错已然成了笑话 病态成了常态 现在想想德意志相不相信眼泪——德意志觉得不好笑 德意志疯了

评分 评分##绝了,跟电影配合食用极佳,算是各有千秋吧。书里面的细节更多,也更有逻辑性,希特勒拿到护照真的太搞笑了哈哈哈哈
