134. Which charcter’s words ?
The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well,
where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-
improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-
grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My
mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe
with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would
drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented
the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse
chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that
only the genius possess and the insane lament... My
childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge
lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When
I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten
with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I
received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian
named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles. There
really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's
breathtaking... I suggest you try it.
