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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"How I Became Stupid | Martin Page | Quality | 9780142004951 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1563333","offer_id":50584957288706,"sku":"1563333","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81qYS2i2SuL.jpg?v=1791061741","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/how-i-became-stupid","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
