Yeah. Me. Not too many others though, I guess. Toole committed suicide because he thought no one would ever recognise his genius. I recognised it, bit it was too late for me to tell him. It's a brilliant book. Title is a line from Pope. |  | | |

The title is paraphrasing Swift, surely? |  |

No need to apologise, mun. I rather suspect GB knows full well that it was Swift, he just threw out a bait line laughing that Warwick, you or I would jump to nibble. Still nice to see Alexander Pope get a mention mind, probably his first on the site?
Have you read the book, love? I actually bought and read it in New Orleans back in the ‘80s which wouldn’t have been too many years after publication. It was a useful, seedy guide to the Crescent City as I traipsed around trying, with varying degrees of success, to pass for a twenty one year old and get into the dive bars. | |

I haven’t read it, but years ago, I saw a performance of it in one of those theatres above a pub somewhere in either Chiswick or Notting Hill. Can’t remember who was in it now, but from memory it was a one or two man show rather than a full adaptation. It must have been 25 or 30 years ago though. I was reminded of it recently when some list of ‘100 books you should read’ type thing came out and it was on there, but until this thread I forgot all about it again.
I was more recently reminded of Pope as I had a drink in the Mawson Arms in Chiswick (the pub next door to the Fullers brewery) which used to be his house... | | | |
