Arguably the funniest winner of the Pulitzer Prize, A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the 20th century’s great cult novels, with a following to match, sitting alongside Swift and Twain as a comic masterpiece. A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged as well. Ignatius ignores them as he heaves his vast bulk through the city's fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him. Ignatius must get a job...
Never published during his lifetime, John Kennedy Toole's hilarious satire, A Confederacy of Dunces is a Don Quixote for the modern age, and this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes a foreword by Walker Percy.
"A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities ... it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue."
- The New York Times
John Kennedy Toole (1937–69) graduated from Tulane University in 1958 before receiving a master’s degree from Columbia University the following year. He was drafted into the US Army in 1961, and much of the first draft of A Confederacy of Dunces was written while he was stationed in Puerto Rico teaching English to new recruits. Depressed after failing to have his novel published, Toole committed suicide in Biloxi, Mississippi, in 1969. Through the tenacity of his mother, and with the help of novelist Walker Percy, the book was published in 1980, and Toole was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for the novel in 1981.
