![]() It is organized as a series of chronological anecdotes centered on Ignatius, but an oddly intertwined cast of characters find themselves sunk into the mix with him. I could ramble on here, but the book must speak for itself. This seemingly minor event sends the story plunging into the deep end.Īs you might expect, Ignatius is not cut out for the workforce. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, due a chance encounter with a twitchy policeman, his mother gets a tad tipsy, backs her car into a building, and forces Ignatius to get a job in order to cover the damages. Writing is his main activity, and though he strives for critical greatness and recognition, he is not above penning works that appeal to the ignorant masses to get his name out there (and make a buck or two). He spends most of his time in his room, dealing with a few stomach issues and writing endless rants about the deplorable age he inhabits. This is the story of Ignatius, a flatulent, disagreeable oaf (though oaf might be strong-he has read lots of the classics and speaks with great, raving, psychotic wit) that lives with his mother in a run down house on a run down street in New Orleans. ![]() So funny in fact, that, while I was always eager to read it, I usually had to put it down after a while because of abdominal exhaustion. A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. His hat is green, his stomach is bulging, and his mustache is black and often crumb-filled. ![]()
