...followed no religion as an adult, but calls himself a Jew, "because it's more of a challenge"). At 5 ft. 10 in. and 145 lbs. he is a fair-size man, but he was tiny as a boy, and, he says, "I used to get the bejesus kicked out of me regularly in school." The result wasn't any artistically fruitful psychological trauma, as far as he knows; it was that he learned to anesthetize himself from pain. As he observes now, "That isn't a very
