>My literary mentor was this guy called Big Phil
>He was 35 but still in high school
>Flunked the exams every year, even though he could speak 13 languages
>Said it was funnier that way
>Always making me do these weird dares and tasks
>To prove I'm cool and sophisticated
>One time he had me dress up as a banana and quote lewd Pynchon passages in public for 29 hours
>Would randomly quote people at me and if I didn't know them
>He'd beat me up and do humiliate stuff to me like fill my pants with ladybugs
>Soon I'd read everything on Bloom's big list but it wasn't enough
>Phil was always ahead of me
>I idolized and feared him
>This was one of my desperate attempts to make him smile, and you're taking the piss out of it
