Back story—manuscript found under author’s bed after he committed suicide. In the book, He is a ne’er do well living in New Orleans with his mom and the book is laugh out loud hilarious.

Confederacy of Dunces. Kennedy. If you haven’t read it find a copy because it is utterly hilarious vi tried to listen to audible version and very heart and soul of the book was gone. I said find a copy because it’s out of print I believe. The backstory of this book is so interesting and appropriate.

Reply to What Is It That Makes Used Bookstores So Wonderful? by zsreport
There was in St Pete Fl for years called Haslams and when I lived there I was amazingly broke as I was supporting a 4 member family on a teacher’s salary. I would let my boys get a couple used comics and they were happy. It was room after room of books on shelves, stacked on tables, some new, many used. And of course it closed during the pandemic. I still miss it.
