A Man Lies Dreaming
Lavie Tidhar · 1 novel · 1 short story · 1 collection · 2014–2021
Lavie Tidhar's A Man Lies Dreaming imagines Adolf Hitler as a washed-up private detective working the seedy edges of 1930s London, in a timeline where the Nazi party never took power in Germany, framed by chapters narrated from within a concentration camp. The Lunacy Commission returns to related alternate-history material. The novel uses pulp-noir pastiche to force an uncomfortable historical inversion rather than playing it for straightforward genre fun.
