A Confederacy Of Dunces pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Released by Louisiana State University Press in 1980, A Confederacy of Dunces is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon. Rejected by countless publishers and submitted by the author's mother years after his suicide, the book won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Today there are almost two million copies in print worldwide in eighteen languages. Now, for the first time, John Kennedy Toole's comic masterpiece is available in a large print edition. Toole's lunatic and sage novel introduces one of the most memorable characters in American literature, Ignatius Reilly, whom Walker Percy dubs "slob extraordinaire, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one." Set in New Orleans, A confederacy of Dunces outswifts Swift, one of whose essays gives the book its title. As its characters burst into life, they leave the region and literature forever changed by their presence-Ignatius and his mother; Miss Trixie, the octogenarian assistant accountant at Levi Pants; inept, wan Patrolman Mancuso; Darlene, the Bourbon Street stripper with a penchant for poultry; Jones the jivecat in spaceage dark glasses. Included here is the introduction that writer and New Orleans resident Andrei Codrescu composed for the book's twentieth anniversary. Set in oversized type for ease in reading, the large print edition will gratify both first-timers seeking to discover this modern-day classic and longtime afficionados wishing to reread a favorite novel.

最早知道《笨蛋联盟》这本书是在某一期的《读书》上,有快10年了。印象中那文章没说多少关于书本身的事,大多篇幅都给了作者图尔。然而如今有了波拉尼奥、斯蒂格·拉森这些人物作陪,图尔恐怕也该在泉下看开了:在人生这一堆杯具里,看不到自己的作品出版永远不是最大的那一个...
评分一部伟大的小说,注定不会被埋没,哪怕它的作者默默无闻甚至已经不在这个世界上,哪怕它的内容荒诞不经甚至疯言疯语,但在这荒诞疯癫的背后,却是洞悉世事与人性的深刻,给阅读的人以独特的启迪。对于读者,不同时代的人,不同生活经历的人,不同人生理想目标的人,也会对这样...
评分在还没有开始读这本书之前,已经被作者序写的话吸引——”我不仅仅是对自己的作品不怀有任何希望,而且对这个社会也失望透顶,像我这样的人,也许只有一条道路可以选择,那就是尽快死去,以脱离这无情的现实。“ 一个人,是怎样饱受过社会的摧残和压迫才会有这样...
