La conjura de los necios es una novela del escritor estadounidense John Kennedy Toole, publicada en 1980 de manera póstuma. La historia sigue a Ignatius J. Reilly, un personaje excéntrico y obeso que vive en Nueva Orleans y se resiste a integrarse en la sociedad moderna. A través de sus desventuras y encuentros con diversos personajes, la novela ofrece una crítica satírica de la cultura contemporánea y la condición humana. Esta edición de Quinteto Bolsillo presenta la obra en un formato accesible para disfrutar de esta joya literaria.
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.
