What is ridiculous about human beings, Doctor, is actually their total incapacity to be ridiculous.
I got Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art, a book on Japanese art movements in the 50s-60s, "because I remember you liked that exhibition on fascist art in Italy."

Your guess is as good as mine on that one. They're both countries with efficient train networks?

Also I gave Richard Farina's Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me to someone who loves the Beat era, as well as Gregor von Rezzori's amazing Memoirs of an Anti-Semite in case they'd already read the Farina.

I've tried (and failed) to get people to read Rezzori, but it might have something to do with the title and the fact that the one thing that really sticks in the mind about me is that apparently I AM CUCKOO FOR FASCIST ART.
