• Comment, leaning Keep. From the Ebscosearch, there's a review in Booklist (Pitt, David. Booklist. 3/15/2007, Vol. 103 Issue 14, p23.). I suspect there will be others, as a review of its sequel in NYT says "Cooper's previous novel, "Hume's Fork," drew critical comparisons to "A Confederacy of Dunces"" (Martin, Cameron. Purple Jesus. New York Times Book Review (Dec 12, 2010): BR.24). Espresso Addict (talk) 04:45, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Switching to keep, per review found by A. B. below. Espresso Addict (talk) 06:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• Keep - notable. 2 reviews plus passing mentions (including the philosophy world - Connor is a philosophy professor and this book is a satire based on David Hume's "Hume's fork")
