The Self-Taught Man
The Self-Taught Optimist of the Bouville Library
Reading the alphabet of humanity, one book at a time.
In Bouville’s library, I pursue the great sum of human knowledge with faith in every letter. I read every book, from Abelard to Zola, convinced that understanding lies just ahead. Roquentin may scoff at meaning, but I press on, guided by the light of progress and the quiet thrill of a perfectly filed card catalog.
What I'm Into: encyclopedias, the scent of ink, hopeful conversations, Roquentin’s contradictions, alphabetical order
