I started writing a short today about a guy who happens to have the surname "Hitler". Doing the kind of cursory research a lazy writer is wont to do before embarking on a project of this magnitude, I saw this.
It's interesting to think that there must have been OTHER Hitlers beyond der fuhrer. Did these guys and gals change their name after the war to avoid violent reprisals from the rest of the world? Were there enclaves that welcomed The Hitlers? Was there a club of Hitlers and former Hitlers? What did they talk about?
These questions will likely go unanswered.

The junior journalist in me kept twitching when I read that, especially after reading The Nightly News. She doesn't stop editorializing. The instructors frequently reminded us, including marking down our assignments, that editorializing is bad journalism. Whatevah. That's not the point...
ReplyDeleteI heard about the "Hitlers" of Long Island before, but didn't know anyone made anything of it.
I like this "original premisss." I need to hammer out some for myself.
-and on The Nightly News, if you find yourself in a comic shop and happen to see it- a trade by Jonathan Hickman, I recommend reading it, or I'll lend it to you the next time we meet up.
