Book details & reviews:
  • Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
  • "A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue."—The New York Times Book Review
  • A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).

Similar story for me. If not for his grieving mother who made it her life's mission to get this published, I doubt anyone would have read this novel. More on this at https://www.newyorker.com/books/s...-of-dunces.
My pyloric valve. If you at all enjoyed this book (I certainly did) you should read butterfly in the typewriter.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: The Tragic Life of John Kennedy Toole and the Remarkable Story of A Confederacy of Dunces
This is my favorite book.

It is divisive. Some rate this book as top tier 5 star literature. Most think it's boring.

I adore this book so hard.

Amazing book.

And Comic Book Guy (Jeff Albertson) from the Simpsons is basically Ignatius J. Reilly.

I read the book in 1990 before really knowing the Simpsons and then after and I read every line of dialog as Comic Book Guy.
