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).
