A Confederacy Of Dunces

A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat. flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble Crusader against a world of dunces. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh-pots of a fallen city, filling his Big Chief tables with invective, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must go to work.
