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.

关键词:逃亡、幽门、封面 作者戏剧的功底在书中展现得淋漓尽致,作者把他自己写进了书里,主角把自己写进了小说里。虽然读来人物夸张怪诞,但如果把这本书搬上舞台,人物极富戏剧张力。尤其是书的最后一章极具镜头感,如果拍电影将是故事倒叙的绝佳开头:男主角狂奔着企图逃...
評分挺搞笑的。而且我觉得生活中应该有很多主人公那样的人。 他们有自己的想法、观点,他们生活在自己的小世界中,他们能够搞砸一切事情,又认为全世界的人都对自己不起,都在算计自己,他们自以为是,自高自大,“正义在我手,世界横着走!”在书中遇到这样的人,你会觉得他们又可...
評分拿起这本书,看到书名,情不自禁被封面吸引,封面中的那个小丑似笑非笑,笑中有点苦涩的表情会轻轻地触碰着内心中的某种柔软的情愫。这种一霎的情愫很快会被书中这个叫做伊格内休斯的主人公的出现冲淡,他的出场伴随了太多的问题,暂不提他的衣着和发型,甚至那个奇怪至极...

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. 施老師說他覺得最好的小說應該是笑中帶淚的,感覺讀這本小說就是放肆笑完之後是深深的沉默,悲劇往往和喜劇隻有一綫之隔,人生既不是悲劇也不是喜劇,而是一場悲喜劇,我想這就是波拉尼奧把它列為自己最愛的幾本書之一的原因吧。第一章裏那些酒館的對話很美劇,讓我想到瞭喪到傢的《百年酒館》。
