A sensational find

When you hear the introduction about the editor finding this manuscript by a long since deceased nobody and quickly discovering it as one of the quintessential comedic book of the century, you might get your expectations up quite high.
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.
