“The fool circulates, moves, witters on about anything, laughs his head off, drinks himself blind, walks all night in the streets, dozes for an hour or two, then after a quick wash he starts again to play, messing, fooling and clowning around; he celebrates meetings with his many reliable friends, telling jokes every minute, presenting a farce every quarter of an hour, theorising on the side, never claiming or lacking anything, then again he drinks and seems to take nothing seriously, except for his very lack of seriousness. He is in turn ironical, delighted, enthusiastic, bad tempered or genial, shocking or delicate, notably when throwing himself into a tango or paso doble. He is precise or sluggish, attentive, miserable, trivial, elegant, extravagant, continually making a joke out of everything, and being stubborn to a certain extent.
His works, we clearly feel, are only a series of actions. Made freely, as if he hadn’t taken anything for himself; hence his praise of failure and defeat.”

Guy Scarpetta “A fool” (fragment)
