One of the BBC''s ''100 Novels That Shaped Our World''
''My favourite book of all time... it stays with you long after you have read it - for your whole life, in fact'' Billy Connolly
A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged. Ignatius ignores them, heaving his vast bulk through the city''s fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance.

This stunning clothbound edition of John Kennedy Toole''s savagely funny, satirical masterpiece is designed by the acclaimed Coralie-Bickford Smith.

The New York Times
