Place your bets as to which scenes the graphic novel will omit
>>25552064Great
>>25552059>i must consoooom
>>25552125You must hate the stack threads
>>25552059Folio society books are the ugliest editions I've ever seen in my life. A first edition, second print with dustjacket costs less
>>25552059And yet you ain't got the one edition that looks decent.
It really pisses me that they made his hat red
>>25552059Show us the recipes from the cookbook, we have to know.
>>25553965Confederacy doesn't mention enough dishes to fill a cookbook, so most of it is just period-appropriate recipesThe author makes special note of the fact that Cajun cooking had not made its way out of the swamps by Toole's time, so the dominant style is Creole
>>25554192
>>25554208Sadly it doesn't have a picture for every single recipe
>>25554211And yes, there is a whole chapter on hot dogs
>>25554192Oyster patties would make me resentful of modernity too
>>25552064>Kwanza
>>25554216>Baking powder in puff pastryJust buy it at that point. Philistine.
>>25552059Which other novels deserve their own cookbook?
>>25555785Eat Pray Love
>>25555785Silence of the Lambs
>>25553676The only thing I don't like about the OG cover is that the parrot looks like it was drawn by someone who has never seen a bird before
>>25555785Lord of the Flies
>>25552064I can't stop cringing at every sentence of this foreward.
>>25552064sounds like AI or at least the manipulative crap AI was trained on
>>25556234>published September 2026Yeah, I'm thinking actual LLM prose. It's that paternalistic, holier-than-thou, finger-wagging OpenAI GoyGPT spiel.
>>25552064lol
>>25552064Why would you even adapt this novel with so much dislike for the original piece?Toole's politics are poorly understood, but he clearly demonstrates an understanding of and sympathy for the working poor and the black underclass. The only genuinely moral character in the whole novel is the black barworker. The gay partygoers are made fun of for their vanity rather than outright homosexuality, the police are mocked for their ineffectiveness, and the wealthy are pilloried for their disconnection with reality.Even if it trades in dated language, Dunces is a progressive novel that attacks those who wrap themselves in pretense and superiority.
>>25555785Novels?
>>25556199The bird looks great, you're insane
>>25556439Do you seriously expect a Nigerian to be able to grasp any of that
>>25557213Nuance is dead anyway.
