«Look Who's Back» is the satirical novel by Timur Vermes, published by MacLehose Press in paperback (375 pages, in English).
In the summer of 2011, Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin. There is no longer any war, Nazi party, or Eva Braun: Germany is full of immigrants and governed by a woman. Those who see him take him for an impersonator who never breaks character. He goes viral, gets a television show, and plans to straighten out the country his own way.
The novel was originally published in German as «Er ist wieder da» in 2012 and was translated into English by Jamie Bulloch. In 2015 it made the longlist for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.
Recommended for readers of political satire and black humour who want provocative fiction about contemporary Germany and the power of the media.
