Synopsis

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. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh-pots of a fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.

Reviewer: Luke

This has to be my favourite book ever, the characterisation is brilliant and this is where all the comedy is. It is such a pity the author took his own life, as I would happily read all the books he might have written.
