I haven't read this in some years, so I'm not sure if it's aged well,

classics for the sick of mind.
Another one of those is Frederick Exley's "A Fan's Notes." Both
brilliant and strange men, both deceased.

I hope your CoD edition has the introduction by Walker Percy explaining
the book's back story. It is one of the saddest and strangest stories
I've read in literature.


You know, I was just thinking the same thing when I saw it at Borders
yesterday and noticed that the edition with the WP intro looked
different than the version that I ordered. But I have read about poor
JKT's story before, and it is very sad and strange.

I'm not familiar with Exley, but I do like dark and warped so I'll have
to try him. Now Bukowski- that guy pushes my limits for warped and
dark.
