A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

4.0

Extremely funny satire. Ignatius Reilly is highly intelligent but completely unemployable; wildly creative yet entirely lacking in common sense; shunned by society but filled with his own prejudice; slothful yet manic. His twisted world view is hilariously challenged when he meets an assorted cast of characters in his native New Orleans. It's hard to describe, but this book shouldn't be missed.
