Art
Bupkis:
Dr. Bupkis is
the literary ward of L. R. Baxter, a professor at
the University of Florida. However, under express
terms of said guardianship, Prof. Baxter now
disavows any responsibility for Art, as the
latter has apparently eloped to New York City.
The following was published recently in The
New York Times Review of Books.
A Brief Biography of
Bupkis:
Writer, Art
Bupkis (Author William Capra Bupkis, 1951-
), claims to be the love child of the late
Cardinal Aaron Jean-Marie Lustiger, Archbishop of
Paris (born a Jew, and a Holocaust survivor), and
the late Jacqueline Lee Bouvier. Lustiger and
Bouvier met during her college junior year abroad
at The Sorbonne (1949-50). The child was adopted
the very day of his birth by a Swiss Jewish
couple, who then immigrated to Hot Springs,
Arkansas to run a bathhouse.
With money
Black Jack Bouvier provided the Bupkis family,
Art lived well. After a local elementary
education (during which he often mooned with
schoolmate Billy Blythe), he attended Choate and
Harvard, then traveled the world, eventually
ending up in Hollywood, CA. There, he is reported
to have studied with love poet Rod McKuen.
In 1980 Art
decided to broaden his qualifications by
attending the Yale School for the Divine, and
eventually became a Founding Fellow of the A.C.B.S.A.
(American College of Bullshit Artists). Two years
later, back in California as Adjunct Lecturer of
Stand-Up Philosophy at LA-LA University (where he
was voted “Letcher of the Year”, twice),
Dr. Bupkis secured the leadership of a small but
well-healed cult in the Pacific Palisades. It
incorporated as The Church of Scientific
Scatology in 1990.
Fitting his
genetic heritage, until recently The Rt. Rev. Dr.
Bupkis was August Prelate of The Church, with his
seat firmly on the throne of the magnificent
Cathedral of Notre Senorita, over-looking Malibu's
famous Surf-Rider Beach. Now, however, back on
the orthodox track after having received the
revelations of Ignatz Weisenheimer, Art dispenses
truth from atop a soapbox in Washington Square
Park, N.Y.C.
