What if you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler? Michael Tomasky’s new satirical novel Killing Baby Hitler explores nature vs. nurture, time travel gone wrong, and whether one monster really explains the world’s evil.
In this conversation with Matt and Tomasky (editor of The New Republic) discuss:
• Why democratic socialism is rising (and what popular policies like child care and data-center limits have to do with it)
• Rooting for a young Adolf Hitler in fiction
• How tragedy can create monsters
• The hilarious botched kidnapping scene
• Alternate history where there’s no Holocaust… but human nature still produces plenty of darkness
• Literary influences (Milan Kundera, Kurt Vonnegut) and writing a political novel in today’s publishing world
