A Funny Deluded Social Misfit | A Confederacy Of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole)

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.'A Confederacy Of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole is a picaresque novel of a fat delusional man named Ignatius J. Reilly. He is a bombastic rogue living in a corrupt world and is forced to get a job by his domineering mother. His interactions with other zany characters progressively decline and become more and more outlandish.I summarised the book as follows. "Only a dunce would NOT find this funny. I only covered a couple of the anecdotes of the wonderful mishaps of Ignatius as they are numerous. Certainly is the type of person who is more fun in print than in real life. It lacks the deep cutting drive of something like Catch-22 but if you want a laugh I'd recommend this"I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
