...Srnec thinks these things up, and is the Black Theater's No. 1 performer as well. He is 33, a short, stocky man with a bull neck, a round head, and a freshly scrubbed demeanor. He has a Ph.D. in music, another in theater, and another in art. Sometimes foreigners confuse his Black Theater with Lanterna Magica, another Czech theatrical group, which dazzled visitors to the 1958 Brussels World's Fair with a theatrical hybrid of song, speech, and film bits projected onto odd-shaped screens.

He tests his conviction that "these Yank college girls were at it all the time," and is bitten severely in his fat neck. He bloats with rage after a faculty party when he guessed the word was "effeminately" in a game of charades; the word was "Britishly." He is finally seduced by an ill-complected nymphomaniac and is comic in love as he conjugates Latin to prolong his pleasure. He is outdrunk, outmaneuvered, outraged...
