A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

A manic book, written for laughs all the way. Ignatius is funny, but so are all the other characters and strange situations. I'm surprised Hollywood never made a movie of this - or perhaps the major character would be too hard to understand.

The novel was a little repetitive, I think, but the author handled the multiple viewpoints very well. Especially since it was published posthumously - I wonder if there was any editing of the original?
