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.
