La conjura de los necios es una novela del autor estadounidense John Kennedy Toole, publicada póstumamente en 1980. La historia sigue a Ignatius J. Reilly, un excéntrico e intelectual personaje que vive con su madre en Nueva Orleans. Ignatius se embarca en una serie de desventuras cómicas mientras intenta encontrar un trabajo y encajar en una sociedad que desprecia. La novela es una sátira mordaz de la sociedad estadounidense y una exploración de temas como la alienación, la identidad y la búsqueda de sentido en un mundo absurdo.
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.
