A Confederacy of Dunces

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole – A Comic Classic for the Ages

Meet Ignatius J. Reilly: part philosopher, part hot-dog vendor, and entirely unforgettable. A Confederacy of Dunces is the comedic opus that John Kennedy Toole never lived to see published—but the world is all the better for it. Equal parts absurd, brilliant, and profound, this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel skewers everything from modernity to mediocrity.
