The public assumes the fulminating leader of the Nazi party is a performer who is always in character, and soon his inevitable viral appeal begets YouTube stardom, begets television celebrity on a Turkish-born comedian's show. His bigoted rants are mistaken for a theatrical satire-exposing prejudice and misrepresentation-and his media success emboldens Hitler to start his own political party, and set the country he finds a shambles back to rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith daring and dark humor, \u003ci\u003eLook Who's Back\u003c\/i\u003e skewers the absurdity and depravity of the cult of personality in modern media culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060590166256,"sku":"9781681449524","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681449524_p0.jpg?v=1763692737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681449524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
