I read that one about a year or three ago. I would not say that it was a bad read, but it was disappointing overall. But that may also be down to too high expectations. It often felt rather sketchy with then some bits that stood out as very good. But then it slumped again. That the story line was not always very clear to me, did not help. Toole nevertheless captures the seething atmosphere of New Orleans very well. That certainly was a strong point. Curious to learn how you will rate it.

Tom Fitch Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Latest book I bought: The Paperboy - Pete Dexter. Another Dexter I truly loved. Frankly, up to now, the award winning Paris Trout seems to have impressed me the least of Dexter's novels. At this point, I would put Brotherly Love and The Paperboy on top.
