The boys (sans Friedrich) wrap Season 3 by talking about the perfect capstone book: John Kennedy Toole's
A Confederacy of Dunces. They take one last gander at form (picaresque? satire?), discuss Fortuna's wheel, and think through what it means to be a political and artistic outsider in the vein of Ignatius J. Reilly. They also talk localism and other weird political alignments that defy the usual American dichotomies.
