On Being Tall
Manage episode 348683570 series 1301261
Will Self says there are distinct downsides to being tall.
At six foot, four and a half inches, Will ponders the drawbacks of a lofty stature.
'The very ideal of beauty is the small', writes Will, 'so how awful it is to realise that you will never fulfil this artistic ideal with your enormous person which, far from being an artwork, is simply a scale model of gigantism!'
