Letter to the Editor: Somewhere in Austria

Hi Robert,

Last year, somewhere in Austria, I decided to drop out of university in my very first class. We can say actually in the first fifteen minutes. I was 18, took my backpack, got out of the building and said “Goodbye to all that!”

I worked a bit after leaving university and saved money. I am now in a small town somewhere in the world, educating myself, reading Plutarch, and drinking chocolate in the afternoon, hoping to write soon.

I live simply and I am very young and inexperienced, but Thoreau taught me to try the experiment of living to learn to live.

Sincerely,
Z
