Synopsis
A spectacular, Pultizer Prize-winning novel by a master of comedy, beloved by readers and critics alike. The place is the French Quarter, the characters, denizens of New Orleans's lower depths., Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, --selfish, domineering, deluded, tragic and larger than life-- is a noble crusader against a world of dunces. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh posts of the fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.

    • One great ride…

      What a terrible shame that Toole took his life. What an homage to him that his mother was finally able to find a publisher that would back this extraordinary Pulitzer winning craziness. It’s a great, great ride; can’t thank you enough, Mr. Toole.

    • Unusual

      I have so much to say about this book, for one thing it was written by my husbands cousin, loosely based on his family. John Kennedy Toole was my mother in laws brothers son, her maiden name was Toole. We were so thrilled when he won the Pulitzer, however he wasn’t there to see his work become such a success. His mother Thelma was going to have it published no matter what it took, and of course she did. If it wasn’t for her tenacity it would be forgotten in an attic. I have read a letter from her to my mother in law saying that John got his talent from her and only her. I could go on and on.

    • A Classic

      I went to college in New Orleans ( Tulane ) 1957-1961. I wondered what the local New Orleans was like. This classic and national prize winner gives you a very funny picture!
