It's too bad it didn't work for you.<br />And I do think the story behind the book is just as interesting and tragic as the book itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28571335.post-33666157912084329632009-06-23T18:24:21.306-06:002009-06-23T18:24:21.306-06:00The story of JKT and the publishing of Dunces is q...The story of JKT and the publishing of Dunces is quite complex.

No one in the publishing world would touch the book either until she begged Walker Percy to <i>do</i> something.<br /><br />If Toole had a little more faith in his talent maybe the book would be a little finer in quality. Was it ten years to get published? I know I could do some serious rewriting in that time period! ;D<br /><br />Maybe your next book will strike a better chord! :)maggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.com
