内容简介
· · · · · ·
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.

评论 ······
购于法兰克福机场。今年3月出的英译本,畅销书Top10,非常非常搞笑的一本书,有些梗因为不是德国人所以可能没有太明白,可读性很强。
元首穿越了,他很不满意。“我们国家的大好青年,整天只会低头看手机。总有一天我要禁止生产这种邪恶的设备。不,我要把它们留给那些劣等民族,强制他们使用!哦那个跟在她的狗身后捡狗屎的疯女人,一定是孕育孩子的渴望太过强烈,她才发了神经。”这本用第一人称叙述的元首叨逼叨语录口无遮拦地讽刺了各种社会现状,有些梗需要对于非德国人士来说可能有点难get。

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
