GUEST, I agree that A Confederacy of Dunces is tempting as a movie subject.

In fact, so did some producer. I heard some time ago that a movie was being made of this great book. Haven't heard anything further about it, though.

I'm just afraid of the novel-to-movie comedown, though. I'd see the movie just out of curiosity, but with no expectation that it could live up to its glorious antecedent.
