It must be true. I read it on the internet. In virtual life, bloggers want to make magic believable, as if life could really be explained ;-)
In real life, I am reading Tom Stoppard’s biography and it is like reading about a magical life ... In Double Act by Ira Nadel, the biographer has succeeded in getting me hooked ... Born to the Jewish Dr Straussler and his wife in Czechoslovakia, the family escaped the Nazis by fleeing to Singapore, where his father was killed by the Japanese, while young Tom, his mother and brother sought safety in India. ... In his plays, Stoppard expresses a deep skepticism about history in general and biography in particular. Indeed, he often builds his dramatic conflicts as well as his cerebral humor on characters "getting it wrong"—they are hapless detectives who fail to get the facts or who completely misunderstand their meaning. The problematics of interpretation apply... No one like Stoppard for making you feel both spoilt and inadequate as an audience Ideas can be elegant; they can seduce, tease, or strike comic poses; they can rhyme and be set ringing at selected overtones

The hilariously honest report, titled simply "Boobies," reads, in part:
