A Confederacy Of Dunces: 20th

by John Kennedy Toole
Foreword by: Walker Percy

Grove/Atlantic | June 14, 2000 | Trade Paperback

This wildly inventive comic masterpiece exploded on the literary scene like a time bomb in 1980. The rest is publishing history. Critics and readers adored "A Confederacy of Dunces, " and the book went on to win the Pulitzer Prize. Now this wonderfully outrageous, hilariously funny novel is back in a new hardcover edition.

A True Genius!!!!!!!

In "A Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy Toole creates an outrageous character in Ignatius J. Reilly. Everything about Ignatius is the opposite to most behaviors and represents the antithesis of all popular value systems. Through Ignatius, Toole criticizes capitalism in the Levy Pants factory that Ignatius works, the institute of law and the morally bankrupt people who live in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Certainly a Mardi Gras in print, the reader is treated to the hilarious perspective and outrageous comments of a modern day knave in Ignatius J. Reilly.
