What is your name
Riley Frank
Are you related to Anne Frank
She was my Great Aunt
What inspired you to write a book about her
Because I wanted to tell the truth
There have many books written about Anne
I agree and very good books too
But they missed something very important
What was that Riley
It was said that she walked around barefoot
For obvious reasons
But that is partially untrue
Why
Would you look on that table
What do you see
A pair of red clogs
They look quite old
Do you know who they belonged to
The last owner
That is partially correct
Please be more specific
Did they belong to Anne
Yes
She had small feet
Were they left to you
No I accept both left and right
It was because of these clogs
That poor Anne was captured
As she liked nothing better
Than walking around the apartment
Wearing her red clogs
Which against wooden floors
Made a considerable noise
How tragic
It is not true
Then why did you mention it in your book
Because I wanted to make a name for myself
Do you realise that you have wasted my time Riley
It was a humour
It was not a humour
It is far from funny
I found it very funny
I thought that it was quite inventive
I do think that you need to see a shrink Miss Frank
Riley
You are missing the point entirely Miss Newton
Ms
What is your first name
Trevor
You are missing the point Trevor
I am going to conclude this interview
That is up to you but hear me out
Make your point
The point is quite clear
I have written a detailed book about my Great Aunt
It is a generous exploration of her short life
But you lied
You insinuated that Anne was captured
Because she wore those red clogs
I purchased them at a local market
They never belonged to Anne
You are very cruel Riley
I am leaving
Do so then
But you will miss the point
What fucking point
It was deliberate
Deliberate
Explain
Do you read many history books
Some
Are some of these books on subjects such as colonialism and slavery
Yes
Do you believe them
Most are well researched
They are not well researched
Most of what is written is false
It is false history
I do not agree with you
That is your choice
If one of these books told you that two and two equalled five
Would you believe them
No
Why
Because two and two equal four
Then why do you believe certain books
That are when stripped down
Just false histories
I think I can see your argument
You have written something that you know to be untrue
Just to illustrate this point
By using a humour
That was my intention all along
Will you own up
Not straight away
I will let people attack me as you have
And then I will show them my hand
And then my fat arse
With the words
FUCK YOU
Written in black ink
This will be my only book
My next book will be ghost written by you
I am not a ghost writer
I am a journalist
We all ghost writers Julie
Trevor
Julie
You will pen my posthumous autobiography
Are you planning suicide Riley
Not sure
Maybe
I have not decided yet
If I do then you will be the first to know
