Relation To Books Die kleine Hexe

- Hello Manny, do you recognize me? - No, who are you? - Come on. - No idea. - I'm your subconscious. - Oh... right. It's true, you did look familiar. Well, what've you been doing? - Thinking about sex, mostly. Let me tell you my latest fantasy. There's-- - Subconscious, this is not an appropriate time! People are listening! Have you no sense of shame? - No. - Okay... I guess you wouldn't. So, uh, what else have you been doing? Read anything recently? - Same as you, Manny, same as you. - What did you think of Die kleine Hexe? - What did you think of it, Manny? - Oh, I don't know. It improved my German. I thought it was a bit girly, to be honest. - But what did you think it was about? - Nothing much. A cute story about a kind witch who decides to be different and go around helping people. - Honestly, Manny. You really thought that was what it was about? - Well, what else? And don't say sex. - I wasn't going to. - Alright, Subconscious, what's your theory then? Since you're obviously dying to tell me. - It's about the Third Reich. - Jesus Christ, Subby, every time we read a book in German you tell me it's about the Third Reich. You said the German translation of The Little Prince was about the Third Reich. - But this one really is! - Look, 45 people on Goodreads have reviewed this book, and not one of them has even hinted at connections with the Third Reich. - Okay, let's walk you through it. The heroine of the book is a witch who lives with a raven called Abraxas. Now who is he? - Her familiar? - Yes, yes, but what does he represent? Think Pinocchio, Manny. - Oh, er, right. Jiminy Cricket. The raven's always giving her moral advice. He's her conscience. - Pretty slow today, Manny. And what happens when the witch takes her conscience's advice? - Well... she gets in a lot of trouble. It turns out that in witch society you're supposed to be evil. So someone who acts morally is in fact a very bad witch. - Now Manny, where and when was this book written? - Germany, 1957. - And had anything recently happened there that might remind you of the witch society? - Ah... well... look, I see where you're going, but I don't buy it. Too much of a stretch. - Have it your own way, Manny, have it your own way. I can show you the facts, but I can't make you believe them. - Look, Subconscious, can we talk about something else? - Absolutely! Let's get back to my fantasy. There's these two hot girls...
