SYNOPSIS
Brought to you by Penguin.
One of the BBC''s ''100 Novels That Shaped Our World''
A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged. Ignatius ignores them, heaving his vast bulk through the city''s fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him: Ignatius must get a job. Undaunted, he uses his new-found employment to further his mission - and now he has a pirate costume and a hot-dog cart to do it with...
Never published during his lifetime, John Kennedy Toole''s hilarious satire, A Confederacy of Dunces is a Don Quixote for the modern age, now brought to life by the comedy legend, Reginald D. Hunter.
''This is probably my favourite book of all time'' Billy Connolly
''A masterwork of comedy'' The New York Times
''My favourite book of all time... it stays with you long after you have read it - for your whole life, in fact'' Billy Connolly
''A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities ... it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue''
The New York Times

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Kennedy Toole
John Kennedy Toole nasceu em 7 de Dezembro de 1937, em Nova Orleães. Suicidou-se, aos 31 anos, em 26 de Março de 1969. Sabe-se que não teve urna infância fácil, mas revelou ser um rapaz especialmente dotado - excelente aluno, talento para a música e para a escrita. Teve bolsas de estudo para frequentar as Universidades de Culane e Colambia.
Com apenas 16 anos, escreveu o seu primeiro livro - ""A Bíblia de Néon" -, que apresentou, sem êxito, a um concurso literário. E, durante os dois anos de tropa, em Porto Rico, escreveu um segundo e último romance - "Uma Conspiração de Estúpidos" - muito mais elaborado. Mas não teve melhor sorte. Começou por submetê-lo à apreciação de urna das mais importantes editoras americanas, que o recusou. E outras sete deram-lhe o mesmo destino.
A frustração que lhe foi criada por tal série de insucessos tê-lo-á levado ao suicídio. Mas quem poderia adivinhar que este seu romance viria, finalmente, a ser publicado em 1980 e, no ano seguinte, seria distinguido com o Prémio Pulitzer de Ficção?
