Beschreibung

<p><b>One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'</b></p><p><b>'My favourite book of all time... it stays with you long after you have read it - for your whole life, in fact' Billy Connolly</b></p><p>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...</p><p>Never published during his lifetime, John Kennedy Toole's hilarious satire, <i>A Confederacy of Dunces </i>is a <i>Don Quixote </i>for the modern age, and this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes a foreword by Walker Percy. <br><br>'A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities ... it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue'<br><i>The New York Times</i></p>
