SynopsisIgnatius 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.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A GREAT NOVEL... SO funny... SO 'New Awlins'!!!
A Confederacy of Dunces is probably my favorite novel. I'm a New Orleans native and, for some reason, the style and context of this book is magical for me. SO funny... SO clever... SO 'New Awlins'!!! I love it! 🤓👍Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Humanistically Satisfying Satire!!
The writing in this Pulitzer Prize winning novel is 'chewable'. Each description is filled with imagery, texture, and depth. Laugh out loud outrageous!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great novel for people learning to write.
I bought four copies of this for some students-- their bookstore wanted an arm and a leg. It is a really good way of showing how a story can be altered and twisted while staying online. Yes, it is an award winner, and worth it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
