Er Ist Wieder Da (He's Back) has sold more than 400,000 copies since its release, keeping it at the top of the Spiegel's bestseller chart since mid December.

This has been despite, or perhaps because of, a striking front cover framed by Hitler's trademark side-parting, with the title squashed into the silhouette of his signature moustache.

In the novel, author Timur Vermes relates Hitler's cult of personality to our modern celebrity obsession through 397 pages of pitch-black prose.

The humour is relentlessly dark, revolving to a large extent around Hitler's interaction with modern innovations.

The fuhrer discovers jeans, sets the ringtone on his new smartphone to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, and is disappointed to learn that Hitler89, his preferred email address, has been taken.

....

Vermes, surprisingly, is completely in agreement.

"We have too many Hitler stereotypes, which are always the same – the monster that enables us to reassure ourselves," he told German media.

"Often, we tell ourselves that if a new Hitler came along, it would be easy to stop him. I tried to show the opposite – that even today, Hitler might be successful. Just in a different way."

I wasn't sure where to post this, and decided quirky is probably the best.
