There is basically a thread of hope that emerges from the swamp of losers told by A Love Song for Bobby Long. A life may be overwhelmed by events, passions, most of all dall'autoindulgenza, but before or later will have a small chance to redeem themselves or at least that's what happens in the story of Bobby Long Ronald Everett Capps what he portrayed as "an imperfect being, tormented by a legion of demons assiduously cared for by continuous and strong doses of alcohol. Bobby Long is a human case of Burns and Byron, his companion of adventures, not less. The newspaper association, strengthened by frequent visits of many sources of pleasure and liabilities, from poetry to talk by the river produces a mission statement that sounds a bit 'as a defense of the losers when they say: "We've always had a craving for even live too and we have never understood all those who had not. The life there are always enjoyed. We have never been spectators of life. " On this there is no doubt why, although counting laziness el'indolenza that beat their meet, Bobby Long and Byron Burns are two outsiders who fought and defended the diversity of a world that, for better or for worse, it are created by themselves. Ronald Everett Capps, which should not be entirely foreign to that particular slice of mankind, tells all the deeds, and the picaresque adventures with friends cut sour the great Southern storyteller: Flannery O'Connor, Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner are ahead of the family tree of the writer, but should also be remembered John Kennedy Toole, as his "band of idiots" shares a large amount of the happy company of Bobby Long and Byron Burns. Living in America at the turn of the last two centuries, does not lack ideas, however controversial as when he writes: "Education is what it takes to lead a happy life. Knowledge is merely information and education is what it takes to be happy. Any form of knowledge which does not contribute to your happiness is not part of your education. " And 'there that Bobby Long and Byron Burns are a source of redemption after the flood of alcohol and the endless odyssey of a hole to the other in and around New Orleans: a set dedicated to educating Hanna, a girl alone and desperate with the kind assistance of the two losers find a way out of despair and loneliness. The attempt to prevent them from repeating mistakes that all too familiar with it varying degrees of difficulty, not least the fact that no one from Bobby Long wants to give up anything, but in the end seems to work. It is not the end because, as is natural and right that Bobby & Byron and anarchists are too unreliable to enjoy their little victory, but it is true that, as one of them, "to get an education, just a damn novel, "perhaps A Love Song for Bobby Long is right .
