Synopsis:
Set in 1960s New Orleans, this comic, picaresque novel follows the misadventures of Ignatius J. Reilly—an eccentric, overweight, self-styled intellectual who rails against modern life while living with his mother.
After a run-in that leaves the family facing financial trouble, Ignatius is forced to seek work, triggering a chain of chaotic encounters with a vivid cast of characters across the city’s lower depths. The story builds through escalating schemes, misunderstandings, and farcical disasters into a celebrated satire of society and human folly.
First published posthumously and later awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1981), the novel became a cult classic and then a mainstream success.
