Title: Tears and laughter -- a tragic, gut, wrenching comedy.
Review: This book is a paradox. Enigmatic. Percy's characterization is perfect: Where the tragedy comes from is a mystery. Not so with the comedy. Read it. Or, start reading--the book will take care of the rest. Toole killed himself at the foot of the street I live on in Biloxi, MS. I wish I could have been there when he looped the garden hose from the exhaust pipe through the window into the car. I would have begged him not to give in to the depression. To write, more. Much, much more.
