you got memed dude. glad he offed himself. real reddit-tier shit
Kek.
I always think it's good, but would be way better if they cut some of the bullshit out of it, like toole's agent recommended, which sent him into a suicidal spiral.
Toole was /ourguy/ from a 1950s perspective
Also why the fuck would a non-american read this book? You must be some sort of dimwit.

the subplot about the nightclub owner was stupid and annoying. He could've used that room in the story for more Ignatius

American here. I didn't like it at all. First 50 pages were fine/good/occasionally funny. Downhill after that.
Ignatius basically IS /lit/, or at least he was a few years ago. /lit/ was a lot more Catholic a few years ago.

If you've ridden a horse, you've eaten horse shit.
Goddamn stuff goes flying everywhere.
You have no context for 3/4 of this novel, I guarantee it.
It's not your fault. It's a highly specific setting and story.
