- Comment: ALT 2 is for if other users find the phrase "sympathetic Nazi" to be too uncomfortable for the main page. I'd argue, though, that including the phrase and having it seem to be near statements of the novel's success and appraisal ("e.g. Pulitzer Prize-winning") would make the link really enticing to click due to it evoking sensationalist curiosity.
