Traces the concept of idiocy as it has developed in fiction and film in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing particularly on visual images, and argues that writers as diverse as Gustave Flaubert, Conrad, Steinbeck and Mistry, and filmmakers such as Kurosawa, Herzog and Huston have all been attracted to idiot figures.
