“-Did you really run away from school?
-Yes. I was fifteen and we were reading Thoreau, and I got very excited about the ideas in Walden, which actually caused me to run away from school with a knapsack full of tiny volumes of Shakespeare. I thought I would live in the woods and read Shakespeare. I don’t know what I thought I would eat. I went off after lights out and walked down the highway.”
