Ambientada en la zona rural de Misisipi en la década de 1950, 'La Biblia de Neón' narra la historia de David, un joven que lucha por encontrar su lugar en un mundo marcado por la pobreza, el fanatismo religioso y la intolerancia. A medida que David crece, se enfrenta a la pérdida de la inocencia y a la dura realidad de la vida en el sur profundo de Estados Unidos. La novela explora temas de fe, familia y la búsqueda de la identidad en un entorno opresivo.
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.
