Adam dodged difficult students and teachers with the same strategy. Perfect manners. He would read English novels in French class and drink coffee during maths from a flask he kept in his satchel. “Unteachable” was one teacher’s reaction. “Too smart for the school curriculum” was another, and likely truer, analysis. Adam was going to be serious about art and life but certainly not school. School was for fun. Rare is a man so at home in his own body, equally celebrating or mocking all bodily functions, and particularly delighted with his own penis.
