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.
约翰·肯尼迪·图尔(John Kennedy Toole)美国著名作家。1937年生于新奥尔良。哥伦比亚大学毕业后,曾执教于西南路易斯安那亨特学院和新奥尔良多米尼加学院。十几岁时,图尔就开始长篇小说《笨蛋联盟》的创作。1980年,在母亲的努力下,《笨蛋联盟》得以出版,很快引起读者的轰动,并于次年斩获美国文学界最权威的奖项——普利策小说奖。
周末闲逛书店,看到《笨蛋联盟》这本书,就被封面设计所吸引。小丑眼神中不经意间流露的嬉笑、轻蔑、高傲,正流露出一出喜剧背后多彩的故事。翻了翻关于作者的介绍,那样坎坷的经历,是每一个不平凡的人物在这个平凡的世界所必然遭遇到的苦闷,作者用自杀结束了自己的一生,虽...

评分最早知道《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...
评分有史以来,文坛并不缺少笨蛋形象,有的人笨得很有章法,有的人笨得很有创意,有的人笨到地老天荒,有的人则笨得自成一派。在《笨蛋联盟》一书中,我们又认识了一个笨蛋伊格内修斯,他是一个笨到穷根究底的新奥尔良人。作为一个读书很慢的人,不断地在《笨蛋联盟》中看到多种花...

评分When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. 施老师说他觉得最好的小说应该是笑中带泪的,感觉读这本小说就是放肆笑完之后是深深的沉默,悲剧往往和喜剧只有一线之隔,人生既不是悲剧也不是喜剧,而是一场悲喜剧,我想这就是波拉尼奥把它列为自己最爱的几本书之一的原因吧。第一章里那些酒馆的对话很美剧,让我想到了丧到家的《百年酒馆》。
