Dunces

6 Feb 2003

I just finished A Confederacy of Dunces - the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by John Kennedy Toole. And everybody raved about it, left and right, up and down. They said that I would just laugh out loud when reading it on the bus, and have trouble containing my giggles in the metro.

But no, you know, I really didn't like the book.

That sucks. What am I missing? What was so funny?

As an old Paris boulevardier, I salute you!
