An Underground Education [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION I flunked nude figure drawing in college, and that was the most liberating moment in my education. Up to my junior year at the University of Michigan, I am forced to admit that I had always tried to get As, that I had accepted the basic agenda of academia. But something happened that year. I started putting wise-guy captions on the bottoms of those poorly drawn nudes, as in "Caesar would have never slept here." I translated the most scatological passages in Chaucer. I went off to study Italian at the University of Perugia and wound up spending all my time in the streets, learning the language of Dante from a drunken, out-of-work Japanese tailor. To put it indelicately, I didn't have to worry about learning to roll my R's: There weren't any R's. And I started to fashion my own education, stud3dng French, Italian, Arabic, and Greek. I read Homer's Odyddey in the original and then spoofed the metrical analysis assignment given me by my professor. I read Baudelaire in French and my love life improved. And that period of postadoles-cent rebellion was when this book was truly hatched. I don't know about you, but I often feel deeply unsatisfied after reading an item in an encyclopedia, any encyclopedia from Britannicato Encarta. Sure, I've been told most everything I'm <)uppo
