Just as  GR SS Captain Blicero's sadomasochistic escapades seemed at  
times to be using the words of his favorite poet Rilke as working  
script, was Hitler similarly being directed by three plays of HIS  
favorite playwright Ibsen? This book, which I started reading  
yesterday in the local Borders,  seems to think it can demonstrate  
the hypothesis.. Don't quite know what such a finding might imply but  
it's fascinating reading.

Ibsen was also a particular favorite of James Joyce, not that that  
means anything.

(the connection to Gravity's Rainbow wasn't made by the author, only me.
