A Conspiracy of Dunces
14.99 €
New Orleans. A city in which an unimaginable variety of races, characters, faiths, and pastimes mingle. Parade luxury - and backstreets where life boils both day and night. And it is here that one of literature's most quirky characters, Ignacius Reilly, or simply Tusia, as his mother calls him, lives. He's a slacker - but a slacker who is active and passionate. A glutton, a laughingstock, an ideologue and an idiot who knows exactly how best to organize the world around him. Don Quixote and Falstaff in one body, he bravely opposes Freud, homosexuals, heterosexuals, Protestants and all sorts of excesses of modernity, piling up bumps and bruises and showing them with the pride of an order-bearer. Thomas Aquinas would have called him his beloved brother. Gargantua would have kissed him on both cheeks and granted him a dukedom. And Mr. New Orleans is simply and modestly proud that he has such a son - an uncut diamond of fierce humor and unquenchable sarcasm.
