The Idiot, who spent twenty years walking around the Mediterranean Sea to produce his trilogy of The Idiot and the Odyssey travel narratives, spent his first night on the path in January 1998 at a Cistercian monastery on a Mediterranean island. A couple weeks later he was sleeping with lots of naked men, women and children at the world’s largest nudist colony in Cap d’Agde, France.
