My hair is shaved, W.'s piled up in a quiff. Does he pomade his hair? No, W. says, it's naturally like that. He looks like Gary Glitter, post disgrace, I tell him. I look like a thug, W. says. A monkey thug with great dangling arms in an army vest. Who could suspect me of any delicacy of thought? I look like what I am, W. says. I can't pretend otherwise. What about him, then? Was Gary Glitter a philosopher? Did Immanuel Kant have a quiff?
