The Dry Danube: A Hitler Forgery

Overview

The Dry Danube presents Hitler's memoir of the years he spent as a failed art student in Vienna, just before World War One. Each of the book's four parts is a solid raving block of barbaric flourishes, free of paragraphing in its headlong rush of disgorged spleen.

I wanted to get at H. before the violence sets in , West remarked. But most of all I wanted to get the motion of his mind, as seen by another . Hitler spews his rage over his blighted career and his desperate wooing of Treischnitt and Kolberhoff, proud famous painters both . He tries to befriend these two men so important in my young life, yet so aloof from me . But he discovers that I would have had more success groveling before a statue of Frederick the Great or Charlemagne . ( These men do not so much control Art, they are Art. It makes you sick to think of it .)

A risky venture, The Dry Danube stands a triumph -- baroque, chilling ( This was not the last the world would hear of me ), and scathingly humorous at the same instant.
