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).
"I read a Spanish translation of Toole's (almost) only work back in the early 80s. It has been one of my favourite novels ever since then, and still I foolishly waited four decedes to know the original. Not surprisingly it is a million times better, made me laugh literally out loud at least every other page. Just for the comedy, it's one of the finest books I know, but it´s way more than that: the clockwork plot, the vivid dialog, the incredibly loveable characters - all that makes this this hysterical comedy a very serious work of art."
