How I Became Stupid
How I Became Stupid | Martin Page
8 posts | 10 read | 5 to read
Ignorance is bliss, or so hopes Antoine, the lead character in Martin Page?s stinging satire, How I Became Stupid?a modern day Candide with a Darwin Award?like 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 necessary?in 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.

Tonight is not my night and I'm making a fool of myself on Litsy. I can't even blame alcohol. 😳

OSChamberlain Hahahaaa you're not making a fool of yourself. Late night Litsy confessions are awesome! 8y
LeahBergen Ha ha! No, you're not. I had one of these nights a few days ago. I think I had a typo in everything I posted! 8y
Yournewfriendsams Girl, you're killing it like always. One of my favsies follows. 8y
LauraBeth The whole point of Litsy is we're our very own universe filled with people who all get each other - not sure anyone could ever do anything "wrong" ? 8y
katedensen @OSChamberlain @LeahBergen @LauraBeth Thank you ☺️ @Yournewfriendsams Aw, stop! It's mutual though! 8y

This is one of those books that I give as gifts at that point in life when someone thinks "Man, grad school was a waste of time, the world is out of control, and now what do I do with myself?" That seems to come up a lot. And it's funny. Very, very French and funny.
