3/17 - Athenaeum at 1pm - The Papers of John Kennedy Toole by Vernon Leighton

Join us on March 17, 2010 at 1pm for a presentation by Vernon Leighton titled "The Papers of John Kennedy Toole."

In the Summer of 2009, Vernon Leighton visited Tulane University and studied the papers of John Kennedy Toole, the author of A Confederacy of Dunces. While he is working on an academic paper on this topic, Professor Leighton would like to present some of the findings. The papers, about which no scholar has published a description, prove incorrect at least two claims made in the scholarly literature on Toole.

This event free and open to the public. The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, bluff side.
