John Kennedy Toole
A Confederacy of Dunces
Baton Rouge: Lousiana State University Press, 1981.
Fifth printing.
Early printings of this odd classic have become rare.
Although this sorry tale of a struggling, self-deluded author initially failed to find a publisher, leading to Toole's early suicide, the book is now widely regarded as a bizarre, underground masterpiece.
Toole manages to show the farcical nature of social rebellion, through the actions of an anti-hero who cannot control himself.
Hardcover with clipped jacket, some fading and an owner dedication to first end page.
