1787 & 1868: OMFG you will be made to care.



BTW, the book I linked has a lot to say about license and licentiousness. None of which is what the lo-info people around here call muh liberterrrianism.

Try 1533.

Henry and old Annie had a rather "it's complicated" going on that year, indeed.

Anyway, I think you might like the book. The guy who wrote it is a straight good dude.

I just started reading Confederacy of Dunces. It has a lot of high minded sophisticated ideas thay I doubt you guys would understand.

What do you know about the guy who wrote the foreword?

Fife trivia: My signature is an unreadable scribbling of "I.J. Reilly"

The copy I have is forewarded by Walker Percy. I am not familiar with the name.

A quick wikipedia search shows that Percy helped Toole get this book the Pulitzer and is one of the main voices in getting Confederacy widespread readership. A good friend to have, especially since Toole killed himself and was no longer around to promote his work.
