content: John Kennedy Toole presents an eloquent, vibrant look into the life of a consummate educated slacker. The protagonist moves through the pages with nonchalance and the reader vicariously thrills to a life that says, "I am not putting up with hassles."We get a real sense of the experientially rich city that is New Orleans, but with the amazingly diverse set of characters, it is fun to read in a city like New York.It is definitely a tragedy to see yet another example of an artist with a real grasp of living lose his life so young.Toole's legacy - this dynamic comedy opus - will remain.
