Books by John Kennedy Toole

The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged as well. Ignatius ignores them as he heaves his vast bulk through the city's fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him.

The accomplished and evocative first novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Confederacy of Dunces.
