About This Book
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.
