The protagonist of this novel is one of the most memorable characters in North American literature: Ignatius Reilly – a mix of a delirious Oliver Hardy, a corpulent Don Quixote, and a twisted Thomas Aquinas, all combined in one person – who, at thirty years old, still lives with his eccentric mother, busy writing an extensive and scathing critique of our century, as lacking in "theology and geometry" as in "decency and good taste"; a mad plea against a mad society. Due to an unexpected need for money, he finds himself "catapulted into the fever of contemporary existence," a fever to which Ignatius will add a few more degrees.

A Confederacy of Dunces won the Pulitzer Prize, and in France it was awarded the year of its publication as "the best novel in a foreign language."
