Oh I see, it’s about him. Not by him. That seems much more reasonable. @SW-User

@SW-User The second book you mentioned, sounds interesting. For those of us who've read and love A Confederacy of Dunces and know of Toole's sad death, anyway.

@Piper hi. yes I've read reviews they're good and bad but bought used copy only $8 and change on ebay not here yet. I came across confederacy completely by accident just browsing in the fiction section at a library in 1990 one day. One of the very few books that ever made me laugh out loud. Hope novel about him is good but I imagine not good enough.. take care
