But things have changed: hes still recognised, but as a brilliant impersonator who refuses to break character. And in a world of celebrity, TV and YouTube, Hitlers popularity starts to rise... An uproarious, disturbing book that will resonate long after you turn the final page Caroline Jowett Daily Express Author Biography The son of a German mother and a Hungarian father who fled the country in 1956, Timur Vermes was born in Nuremberg in 1967. He studied history and politics and went on to become a journalist. He has written for the Abendzeitung and the Cologne Express and worked for various magazines. He has ghostwritten several books since 2007. This is his first novel. Jamie Bullochs translations include Ruth Maiers Diary, Portrait of a Mother as a Young Women by F. C. Delius, and novels by Paulus Hochgatterer and Daniel Glattauer. Review Both funny and frightening, this is a subtle, historical study of the commanding nature of the fanatical demagogue, as well as a savage critique of contemporary western culture. It is a powerful and important book. - Sue Gaisford, Independent Long Description Berlin, Summer 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch of open ground, alive and well.

You know his hair and mustache, which are caricatured with sharp, witty minimalism on the cover of Look Whos Back , in which a baffled Adolf Hitler is returned to the even more baffled German people. Now youll also know Timur Vermes, whose debut novel has created a sensation in Germany. [ Look Whos Back ] is desperately funny . . . Mr. Vermes has created an ingenious comedy of errors in which the jokes are either on Hitlers misapprehensions about the modern world or the modern worlds refusal to take him at face value . . . Read this book."-- Janet Maslin , The New York Times Promotional "Headline" Hitler returns to life in modern Berlin and becomes a media sensation.
