True Stories (2010)
“ONE AFTERNOON IN the spring of 1972, I settled my form-one class of thirteen-year-olds and we launched ourselves dutifully on an assignment about Ancient Greece. Using the only class set that wasn’t too blatantly out of date, I’d managed to work up a little number on sex roles in ancient times compared with those of today. (I’ve explained this to account for having actually handed round eighteen copies of a book as pitiful as Looking at Ancient History.) OK, everyone have a look at page 51. Rus...tle rustle. A moment of silence as we all stare, transfixed, at the defacements which other classes have perpetrated on a picture of a Greek athlete: in all but a few of the copies a monstrous cock has been added in heavy biro, with a colossal stream of sperm hitting the bullseye, the cunt of a woman on the facing page who is modestly demonstrating the folds of the Ionian chiton. Twenty-nine pairs of eyes meet mine.
‘Miss!’ ventures Tania. ‘Look what’s on my book!’ She holds it up and a hiss of excitement flashes round the class.MoreLess
