Summary
A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole\'s hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is \"huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans\' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures\" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).
First line
A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head.
