Eddie Breen -- warped into genius by Catholic school

For every ten thousand innocent youths destroyed by religious training, every so often, one comes through with brilliance -- twisted, but brilliant. James Joyce, Jean Genet, and now --
Eddie Breen.

(It has been pointed out to me that Mr. Breen most likely may not be the product of Catholic School at all, but good old fashioned rock-ribbed New England Protestantism, the particularly restrained form of fanatical insanity so well described by William Gaddis in The Recognitions.)

Either way, absolutely brilliant.
