Synopsis
Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, --selfish, domineering, deluded, tragic and larger than life-- is a noble crusader against a world of dunces. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh posts of the fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.

Well packaged and in excellent condition just as advertised. Seller also included a series of interesting newspaper clippings that were relevant to the subject of the book. Awesome seller. Great communication. Will definitely do business with them again!

    Funniest book I have ever read

    I first read A Confederacy Of Dunces as I traveled by plane around the USA on business. Several times I was laughing so hard that the traveler next to me would write down the name of the book because they wanted to read it. My stars, I wish the author John Kennedy Toole had written more books but, alas, he ended his own life early on.

  • Top critical review

    Sophomoric humor.

    Bought for my brother. He's 40 pages in and says it's a lot of sophomoric humor using farts and puke as comedy, something he doesn't find funny. Nor do I. It must appeal to a lot of other people as it won a posthumous Pulitzer. Oh well.

  • Great Story

    I read the book years ago and just wanted to read it again. I'm really surprised it never was made into a movie. I would have loved to see the late John Candy playing Ignatius!

  • Great Book, Great Edition

    "A Confederacy of Dunces" is a work whose reputation speaks for itself. This is a handsome edition, well made and worthy of being passed on. A quality binding, it will last.

  • Confederacy of Dunces

    I read this book when it first came out and loved it. Am re-reading it now ... 35 years later ...and still love it. One of the contenders for my favorite book.
