Synopsis "A Confederacy of Dunces"

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).

John Kennedy Toole (Nueva Orleans, Luisiana, 17 de diciembre de 1937-Biloxi, Misisipi, 26 de marzo de 1969) fue un novelista estadounidense, autor de La conjura de los necios (publicada póstumamente en 1980), obra ganadora del Premio Pulitzer de ficción en 1981. El autor se suicidó en 1969 a los 31 años tras no conseguir publicar esta novela, que fue editada con enorme éxito once años después por una editorial universitaria, Louisiana State University Press, gracias a la insistencia de la madre del autor, Thelma Toole (1901-1984)

I read a Spanish translation of Toole's (almost) only work back in the early 80s. It has been one of my favourite novels ever since then, and still I foolishly waited four decedes to know the original. Not surprisingly it is a million times better, made me laugh literally out loud at least every other page. Just for the comedy, it's one of the finest books I know, but it´s way more than that: the clockwork plot, the vivid dialog, the incredibly loveable characters - all that makes this this hysterical comedy a very serious work of art.
