“Unflinching… Let’s just say that Herzog’s use of the word ’folly’ is an understatement.” —The Village Voice
“It is arguably not possible to imagine human stupidity on a grander scale than what Rudolph Herzog has stockpiled in his new book.” —The Brooklyn Rail
"An eclectic, innovative approach to the bureaucratization of creativity during the Cold War." —Los Angeles Review of Books
”Meticulously researched and thrillingly told—reading this is as informative as it is spine-chillingly entertaining"
—Die Zeit
Praise for Rudolph Herzog’s Dead Funny: Telling Jokes in Hitler’s Germany
“A concise, compelling book.” —The Independent (UK)
“Herzog, the son of the film-maker Werner Herzog, shares his father’s curious and mordant wit.” —The Financial Times
“Dead Funny isn’t just a book of wildly off-limits humor. Rather, it’s a fascinating, heartbreaking look at power dynamics, propaganda, and the human hunger for catharsis.”
—The Atlantic, Best Books of 2012
