Amazing! This has to be one of the great unsung classics of modern American literature. Toole has managed to capture some wry idiosyncrasies of the Human species with his peculiar brand of logical absurdity.

Its genius wit is, in many ways, very similar to Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22': when Americans do wit well, they do it brilliantly. It is one of the tragedies of modern literature that Toole took his life over his failure to get it published, and one of its triumphs that it was found, and published, by his mother. It's a shame he never wrote anything else.

This is not the sort of book to read if you are sensitive to graphic description of, and rails against, everything. It is a book to read if you enjoy satire at its best.
