Über diesen Titel
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
“A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.”—The New York Times Book Review
A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs.
So enters one of the most memorable characters in recent American fiction.
The hero of John Kennedy Toole's incomparable, Pultizer Prize–winning comic classic is one Ignatius J. Reilly, an obese, self-absorbed, hapless Don Quixote of the French Quarter, whose half-hearted attempts at employment lead to a series of wacky adventures among the lower denizens of New Orleans. This book has become an American comic masterpiece.

And guess what: A Confederacy of Dunces clears every bar, no matter how high. The book was funny as hell, but when you approached it the wrong way, a lot of the deeply disturbing humour might still be lost on you.
In this audiobook though, Barrett Whitener is utterly brillant in conveying the sheer madness of this universe, the creative chaos this is New Orleans and of course the utter weirdness and likability of this massive, one-of-a-kind protagonist called Ignatius J. Reilly, which you will never ever forget.
A sensational find
