A genius and the women in his life. A struggle for intellectual and emotional survival almost from birth. It seems it's always that way for the brilliant. Travel with him, smile at his tenacity, cry at his defeats. But always admire him:

His father was an English teacher and his favorite book was Moby Dick, so much so that you could say he was obsessed with it. He said the opening sentence was the greatest opening sentence in American Literature, he wasn't alone there, seems everyone else connected with serious literature felt the same way. It wasn't a surprise to anyone when he named him. When he was old enough to understand a little about names he knew he'd been saddled with one that wouldn't be easy. Most people couldn't spell it, and only a few, when they saw it written, could pronounce it. As he grew older he began to enjoy being difficult about it; when people met him for the first time and exchanged names he would say, Call me Ishmael. They didn't get it. No surprise.
