Synopsis of La conjura de los necios

La conjura de los necios es una novela disparatada, ácida e inteligentísima del autor John Kennedy Toole. La historia se desarrolla en Nueva Orleans y sigue a Ignatius J. Reilly, un personaje incomprendido que vive con su madre y lucha por un mundo mejor desde su habitación. Sin embargo, se ve obligado a buscar trabajo y enfrentarse a una sociedad con la que mantiene una relación de repulsión mutua. La novela es una crítica a la clase media y una sátira social, con personajes desagradables y situaciones desproporcionadas. Tras terminar la novela, el autor intentó publicarla sin éxito, lo que le llevó a una profunda depresión y al suicidio. Gracias a la insistencia de su madre, la obra fue publicada y galardonada con el Premio Pulitzer.

About the author

John Kennedy Toole

John Kennedy Toole

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.
