Accueil - CANAL STREET Waldorf Astoria presents the Escape Artist When he got there, they wouldn’t even let him through the studio gates to deliver it, he said. The guard told him it happened every day, and that he too was working on a screenplay about being a guard. He found a two-room apartment in West Hollywood and called his family once a week. He sold his car to a collector in Venice and bought a motorcycle. He wrote at the all-night deli on Sunset Boulevard, and one night made friends with an old man in a tweed cap, who sometimes came in to drink coffee. You don’t write stories, he had once said. Alexandra told him about the town where she grew up: the snowfall, and the narrow lanes; the coolness of trees in summer. She said that she was the opposite, and always knew she would one day leave and live her life elsewhere. When she told him her real name, Michael admitted he had heard of her—read about her in newspapers—but added that he knew only a woman who resembled her, a woman called Alexandra who had kindly sewn on his button the night before.

But what about the respectable barbarism—you know, the kind that wears a suit, gives snappy interviews, and carries an advanced degree? I’m speaking of the famous British atheist Richard Dawkins, who caused quite a stir the other day when he said that it would be immoral not to abort a fetus with Down Syndrome. Fully consistent in his atheistic, utilitarian worldview, Dawkins added, “Suffering should be avoided. Aside from the fact that he’s wrong on facts—the unborn certainly can feel pain at twenty weeks—he’s also wrong on his assumption, that giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome relegates you—and the child—to a life of suffering.
