About this eBook:
  • 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).

Great book. Guy died before it was published and his mom shopped it around dozens of publishers for years before it was published and became a classic. Really, really funny book.

Hilarious classic. If you liked Napoleon Dynamite, you'll probably like this.

A book you didn't know you should have read. You should read it.

It's incredible: This novel builds thread, after thread, after thread. You think they can't be going anywhere, and suddenly they all come together. What a masterpiece.

After reading this book take a trip to New Orleans. You'll be shocked at how well Toole described the city. While the names of places have changed you'll still feel like you know where you are. Have a Lucky Dog along the way.

Is this the thing with the pyloric valve, and maybe hotdogs? I read a lot in college, it's ringing a bell. The dude is gross right?
