A school can be really useful only if it is provided with a good library. I think the main key to education is just reading basically. This is what Jim Morrison, cursed poet and eslège artist, declares to Howard Smith, journalist for The Village Voice, during an interview released at the end of 1969. Two years later the frontman of the legendary band The Doors will die in Paris in circumstances that remain mysterious. Jim Morrison was an avid devourer of books, his "tutelary deities" were rebellious writers and intellectuals with a disruptive visionary force. Spiritual heir of these great personalities, he appeared like a meteor, a new, subversive Dionysus furiously thundering to awaken humanity narcotized by the perversions of today's society. The essay Wake up!, on Jim Morrison's cultural background, was awarded the literary Prize "The Author" promoted by Maremmi Publishing Florence. ----- FRANCESCO "LILLO" GUADALUPI, born in 1974, lives in Brindisi (Italy).
