Resurrections from the Dustbin of History by Simon Louvish
An alternative 20th-century is the setting for this story. The year is 1968, and Leon Trotsky has just died after leading the USSR for 44 years, an ageing German emigre and ex-Senator for Illinois, Adolf Hitler, still dreams of power, and Che Guevara is trying to overthrow Mussolini.
SIMON LOUVISH was born in Glasglow in 1947 and grew up in Israel. Later he decamped to the London School of Film Technique, where he became involved in the production of a series of independent documentary films. He also published a memoir of his Israeli days as well as a series of novels set mainly in the Middle East. Since 1979, he has also been teaching film at the London Film School and writing for various newspapers and magazines. Louvis is the author of definitive biographies of great clowns of screen comedy, including Man on the Flying Trapeze: The Story of W. C. Fields, Monkey Business: The Lives and Legends of the Marx Brothers, and Stan and Ollie: The Roots of Comedy. Further film biographies include Keystone: The Life and Clowns of Mack Sennet, Mae West: It Ain't No Sin, and Cecil B. DeMille: A Life in Art.
