       In The Age Jason Steger profiles Timur Vermes, author of Look Who's Back, the comic novel that has Hitler return to contemporary Germany which is now coming out in English; see the MacLehose publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.co.uk; in the US it appears to only be available in e-book form -- get your Kindle-edition.
       It's been a huge success in Germany -- and foreign-rights sales seem to have been doing well, too:
It's being translated into 38 languages and sold to about 50 countries. "It's an interesting map; it looks as if I have been conquering the world."

Not surprisingly, it hasn't been sold for publication in Israel.
       (I read it in German around when it came out, but haven't posted a review yet; it's a pretty amusing and amusingly played-out premise -- but, yes, it's also kind of disturbing.)
