|publisher=MacLehose Press

I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
[[Hope: a Tragedy by Shalom Auslander]] is the book that has done a similar thing most recently. For a further, richer, though admittedly much less amusing, look at post-War German self-reflection, there is [[Guilt About the Past by Bernhard Schlink]]. You might also enjoy [[A Kill in the Morning by Graeme Shimmin]] and [[Sirius by Jonathan Crown and Jamie Searle Romanelli (translator)]].
