The final work of fiction from Norman Mailer, a defining voice of the postwar era, is also one of his most ambitious, taking as its subject the evil of Adolf Hitler. The narrator, a mysterious SS man in possession of extraordinary secrets, follows Adolf from birth through adolescence and offers revealing portraits of Hitler's parents and siblings. A crucial reflection on the shadows that eclipsed the 20th century, Mailer's novel delivers myriad twists and surprises along with characteristically astonishing insights into the struggle between good and evil that exists in us all.

After 40+ chapters reveling in Hitler’s repulsive, violent father’s sexual assaults/predation etc. and perseverances on incest, Defecation, masturbation & other bodily functions etc, it was difficult to continue. The writing is not special. Some accurate socio-political commentary was not enough to hold my attention.
