By the author of LOOK WHO'S BACK, a radical and bold satire in
inequitable times. "Whizz-bang energy and gleeful imaginative
savagery" Sam Leith, Guardian "More than mere satire, it's a book
that engages deeply" Alex Preston, Financial Times "An immensely
enjoyable read" Daniel Hahn, Spectator "A caustic, clever satire
with a powerful emotional core" Becky Long, Irish Times "Satirical,
sharp, believable . . . Brilliant" Rick O'Shea, RTE REFUGEE CAMPS
IN AFRICA ARE SWELLING And Europe has closed its borders. The
refugees have no future, no hope, and no money to pay the vast sums
now demanded by people smugglers. The only thing they have is time.
AND THEN AN ANGEL ARRIVES FROM REALITY T.V. When model and star
presenter Nadeche Hackenbusch comes to film at the largest of the
camps, one young refugee sees a unique opportunity: to organise a
march to Europe, in full view of the media. Viewers are gripped as
the vast convoy moves closer, but the far right in Germany is
regrouping and the government is at a loss. Which country will halt
the refugees in their tracks? THE HUNGRY AND THE FAT A devastating,
close-to-the-knuckle satire about the haves and have-nots in our
divided world by one of Europe's finest and most perceptive
writers. Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch
Berlin, 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on the ground, alive and well.
Everything has changed, Hitler barely recognises his beloved
Fatherland. People recognise him though, as an excellent
impersonator. The inevitable happens, and ranting Hitler becomes a
YouTube star, gets his own TV show, becoming someone who people
listen to. All while he's still trying to convince people that yes,
it really is him, and yes, he really means it.
THE SMASH-HIT HITLER SATIRE - MORE THAN 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD "A
brilliant book" RUSSELL KANE "Brilliant and hilarious" KEN FOLLETT
A box-office-hit film now available on NETFLIX A two-part BBC Radio
4 Dramatisation directed by and starring David Threlfall
(Shameless) Berlin, Summer 2011. Adolf Hitler wakes up on a patch
of open ground, alive and well. Things have changed - no Eva Braun,
no Nazi party, no war. Hitler barely recognises his beloved
Fatherland, filled with immigrants and run by a woman. People
certainly recognise him, albeit as a flawless impersonator who
refuses to break character. The unthinkable, the inevitable
happens, and the ranting Hitler goes viral, becomes a YouTube star,
gets his own T.V. show, and people begin to listen. But the Fuhrer
has another programme with even greater ambition - to set the
country he finds a shambles back to rights. Look Who's Back stunned
and then thrilled 1.5 million German readers with its fearless
approach to the most taboo of subjects. Naive yet insightful,
repellent yet strangely sympathetic, the revived Hitler
unquestionably has a spring in his step. Translated from German by
Jamie Bulloch
