Why people recommend it
Long-Whiskers and the Two-legged Goddess, Or, The True Story of a 'most Objectionable Nazi' And... Half-a-dozen Cats by Savitri Devi is an eccentric children's fable written by the prominent esoteric Nazi writer. On Behind the Bastards in 2024, Robert Evans discussed the book to illustrate how Devi mythologized her own life and political beliefs. Evans explained that the author used the children's fable format to retell the story of her first postwar trip back to Europe, featuring a cat-loving Nazi heroine named Heliodora. Evans had previously referenced the exact same text on a 2020 episode of the podcast, similarly citing the fable as a prime example of Devi's bizarre, self-insert fictional writings and autobiographical propaganda. Across both podcast episodes, the book served as a fascinating historical artifact that revealed the unusual psychological mechanisms behind Devi's efforts to blend her extreme political ideology with esoteric storytelling, animal affection, and fanciful personal mythology.
