Sumérgete en el hilarante y satírico mundo de Ignatius J. Reilly, un personaje inolvidable de Nueva Orleans. En 'Una confederación de necios', John Kennedy Toole nos presenta a un cruzado contra la modernidad, un individuo obeso y excéntrico que se enfrenta al mundo con una mezcla de arrogancia y desesperación. Acompaña a Ignatius en su búsqueda de empleo y en sus cómicas desventuras mientras intenta imponer su peculiar visión del mundo a una sociedad que considera llena de 'necios'. Esta edición de Penguin Modern Classics te invita a descubrir una obra maestra de la literatura estadounidense, llena de humor, ironía y una profunda reflexión sobre la condición humana.
John Kennedy Toole was an American novelist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose posthumously published novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981. At 16 in 1954, he wrote his first novel, The Neon Bible, which he shelved in the same year, not finding a willing publisher; he later dismissed it as "adolescent". Toole was a successful and popular professor, first at University of Southwestern Louisiana, then Hunter College, and finally St. Mary's Dominican College in New Orleans. Having persuaded Simon & Schuster, however, to accept A Confederacy of Dunces, he was unable to resolve editorial disputes. Due in part to the novel's failure, he suffered from paranoia and depression, dying by suicide at the age of 31.
