Eating Disorder: Following the Trail of Ottis Toole, the Cannibal Kid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 147min
It was once stated that "if the devil were a man, it would have been Ottis Toole." Raised by a mother who was a religious fanatic, Toole admitted to committing his first murder at age 14. After being picked up by a traveling salesman who forced him to have sex, Toole ran the man down with his own car. As a boy, Toole was classified as retarded, and he soon dropped out of school and turned to a life of petty crime. Over the next 20 years, Toole, whether it be with his lover and partner in crime, Henry Lee Lucas, or on his own, he set fires that killed innocent victims, murdered women and cannibalized them, and even took a bizarre "training course" in how to kill people more efficiently, with a group known as "the Hand of Death". And upon his interview in prison, he gave his interviewer his own special "recipe" for barbecue sauce, two of the ingredients being human blood and body fat. Was Ottis Toole telling the truth about his murderous, cannibalistic exploits, or, like his friend and partner in crime, Henry Lee Lucas, was he simply providing the confessions the law wanted to hear in order to close cold cases? In Eating Disorder, Brian Lee Tucker examines the trail of his path of destruction from behind the scenes, to expose the possible truth behind the myths and legends of the Cannibal Kid. ungekürzt.

Raging Cannibal: The True Story of Serial Killer Ottis Toole , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 120min
Ottis Toole, born at the bottom of the gene pool, retarded and illiterate, had been out of control since early childhood. A severely drug-dependent individual as well as an arsonist, murderer, rapist, and cannibal, he was unsafe under any conditions outside of a secure prison, and perhaps unsafe there. To him, life itself was so unmeaning, and the distinction between living and dead people so blurred, that killing another human being was no more than swatting an annoying fly. Between 1976 and 1982, together with his serial killer buddy, Henry Lee Lucas, Ottis Toole was reported to have committed over 300 murders. However, the discrediting of the case against his partner in crime, Henry Lee Lucas, for crimes in which Toole had offered collaborating statements created doubts as to whether either was a genuine serial killer or both merely compliant interviewees who police used to clear unsolved murders from the books. Now, in Raging Cannibal, a screenplay for film by author Brian Lee Tucker, offers up a totally new glimpse into the life of Ottis Toole, one never shown before, the eyewitness accounts, personal testimony, and never-before-uncovered evidence providing an in-depth look into one of the most notorious serial killers that ever lived, who was dubbed the nick name, the "Cannibal Kid". ungekürzt.

Fresh Air, F.X. Toole and Michael Bellesiles, Hörbuch, Digital, 44min
Writer F.X. Toole and Professor Michael A. Bellesiles on this edition of Fresh air. At age 70, F.X. Toole has just published his first book. It's a collection of short stories about boxing called Rope Burns: Stories from the Corner. For twenty years, he's been a cut man, stopping the bleeding so fighters can go on to the next round. Writers James Ellroy and Joyce Carol Oates have praised this book, the former calling it "the best boxing fiction ever written." Others have compared his literary style to Frank McCourt's. Bellesiles new book, Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture looks at our country's obsession with guns. His research refutes the conventional lore that Colonial families were armed, and that the gun was the symbol of the frontier. Bellesiles is a Colonial historian at Emory University, and the Director of Emory's Center for the Study of Violence. (Broadcast Date: September 26, 2000) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: The Tragic Life of John Kennedy Toole and the Remarkable Story of a Confederacy of Dunces , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
The saga of John Kennedy Toole is one of the greatest stories of American literary history. After writing A Confederacy of Dunces, Toole corresponded with Robert Gottlieb of Simon & Schuster for two years. Exhausted from Gottlieb’s suggested revisions, Toole declared the publication of the manuscript hopeless and stored it in a box. Years later he suffered a mental breakdown, took a two-month journey across the United States, and finally committed suicide on an inconspicuous road outside of Biloxi. Following the funeral, Toole’s mother discovered the manuscript. After many rejections, she cornered Walker Percy, who found it a brilliant novel and spearheaded its publication. In 1981, 12 years after the author’s death, A Confederacy of Dunces won the Pulitzer Prize. In Butterfly in the Typewriter, Cory MacLauchlin draws on scores of new interviews with friends, family, and colleagues as well as full access to the extensive Toole archive at Tulane University, capturing his upbringing in New Orleans, his years in New York City, his frenzy of writing in Puerto Rico, his return to his beloved city, and his descent into paranoia and depression. ungekürzt.
