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 ). | A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
