Is no one going to mention how Cellini attacks people at the drop of a hat, then calls on Jesus and the reader to acknowledge that he was totally right to do so?

Yeah, part of what makes the whole book work is the unsettling feeling that as arrogant, self-centered, and biased as he is, he wasn't the only one who thought he was a genius and a total bad rear end. If he was just deluded it would be pathetic but every time you ask yourself "is this guy for real?" you can't quite shake the possibility that the answer might be yes.

It is interesting that Michelangelo praises him, and Michelangelo is the one guy Cellini actually respects. Pope? rear end in a top hat. Kings? Assholes. Michelangelo? A pretty cool guy who might actually be better than Cellini.

Isn't that when he was trying to bang the girl but the other guy actually impressed her?
