Résumé : | Ignorance is bliss, or so hopes Antoine, the lead character in Martin Page's stinging satire, How I Became Stupida modern day Candide with a Darwin Awardlike sensibility. A twenty-five-year-old Aramaic scholar, Antoine has had it with being brilliant and deeply self-aware in today's culture. So tortured is he by the depth of his perception and understanding of himself and the world around him that he vows to denounce his intelligence by any means necessaryin order to become "stupid" enough to be a happy, functioning member of society. What follows is a dark and hilarious odyssey as Antoine tries everything from alcoholism to stock-trading in order to lighten the burden of his brain on his soul. |
