How I Upstaged Anne Frank, Robert Buswell
“Lacking Nazis, I decided I’d really have to go over the top with my death and to cement my victory I’d need some tragedy in my life before I died. It’s like Christ. If he had lived happily right up until the moment he clambered up onto the timber and was crucified, would anyone have cared? No, he had to get some persecution, a whipping, and a spiked crown in there just to make sure. And his book did quite well. But what kind of tragedy could I get into? And then it hit me. Circumcision. I ran home right then and asked my parents to cut off my clitoris.”
