Actually I don't know that he's ever mentioned the third book, but he finished filming the movie version and I intend to watch it.
Oddly enough A Confederacy of Dunces has become one of my favorite books.
I'm curious to hear from other people who also read Story of the Eye. Dave's words were, "beautifully written and demented." The demented part I wholly understand, but beautiful? I've heard from a couple of people who read it and thought it was fascinating, what am I not seeing?
