Episode 27: Truman Capote, John Kennedy Toole

Capote's MUSIC for CHAMELEONS and Toole's "Confederacy of Dunces" are discussed. Jonah discovers after the fact that he is wrong about much of Toole's biography. This well written article is probably worth more than his words. https://www.newyorker.com/books/second-read/the-uneasy-afterlife-of-a-confederacy-of-dunces Yet the virtue of the medium allows for the display of ignorance-par-excellance. Pretty breezy discussion with perhaps a touch too many personal stories, but hey, we're not getting paid. Come sit in the bookstore for a while.
