Pilder took place at a large University in Indiana instead of Missouri, and was set about 50 years later than Stoner, and was based on a true story? More Vietnam, more long hair, more LSD. But still plenty of romance, dean’s office politics and academic hi-jinx.
as if
the story actually happened, because it did, it just hasn’t been framed in the form of a book. I play a bit part in Bloomington right around 1969.

Today I got my hands on The Laughter. I had it on hold at the Seattle Public Library before they had their hands on it. But now, being #133 in line on 25 copies, with each patron potentially sitting on their share for 3 weeks… …the best case scenario made me break down and cough up the money at a local independent bookstore where I got to pull it off the shelf and buy it like your parents and grandparents used to do. Now I can read it and then lend it to two friends who tell two friends who tell two friends, before I’d ever get my hands on a library copy.
