“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
).
