In letzter Zeit kam das immer seltener vor, und wenn, dann war es meistens jemand, der vom kulturellen Leben so weit entfernt war, dass er selbst die Lektüre der New York Times als aufrührerischen Akt empfand, oder, was noch häufiger der Fall war, jemand, der durch bewusste Ignoranz zum Ausdruck bringen wollte, dass er ihm und seinem Leben missbilligend – nein, ablehnend – gegenüberstand.
The genuine not-knowing happened less and less frequently these days, and when it did, it was usually from someone who lived so far off the cultural grid that even the reading of The New York Times was treated as a seditious act or, more often, someone who was trying to communicate their disapproval—no, their dismissal—of him and his life and work by remaining determinedly ignorant of it.
