Winner of the Pulitzer PrizeA masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.The New York Times Book ReviewA Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is 'huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latterday Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly truetolife dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures' (Henry Kisor, Chicago SunTimes).
