What buyers say about A Confederacy of Dunces: A Novel
It is a great read for anyone who is a little Cal or just wants to be sure of their taste in humor but also wants to be safe and not get too much raunchy, because it is exactly the same as New Orleans at that time.
I would have just pretended I read it if it wasn't for the essay, but I actually liked it more than I thought.

I believe it was a wonderful book that came around in the 60s, I remember an uncle telling me he read it when he was 20 and thought it was wonderful. The author committed suicide after completing this book because it was refused.
