“... Oceanic malaise. I never saw anyone reading anything more demanding than a comic book. I never heard any youth express an interest in science or art. No one even talked politics. It was all idleness, and whenever I asked someone a question, no matter how simple, no matter how well the person spoke English, there was always a long pause before I got a reply, and I found these Pacific pauses maddening. And there was giggling but no humor - no wit. It was just foolery.” WellsPersonsLongArtBookMatterCultureReadingFoundInterestSimpleSawsHeardYouthWitComicSpokesComic BookPausesIdlenessPacificMalaiseFoolery Author:Paul Theroux
