约翰·肯尼迪·图尔(John Kennedy Toole)美国著名作家。1937年生于新奥尔良。哥伦比亚大学毕业后,曾执教于西南路易斯安那亨特学院和新奥尔良多米尼加学院。十几岁时,图尔就开始长篇小说《笨蛋联盟》的创作。1980年,在母亲的努力下,《笨蛋联盟》得以出版,很快引起读者的轰动,并于次年斩获美国文学界最权威的奖项——普利策小说奖。
Released by Louisiana State University Press in 1980, A Confederacy of Dunces is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon. Rejected by countless publishers and submitted by the author's mother years after his suicide, the book won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Today there are almost two million copies in print worldwide in eighteen languages. Now, for the first time, John Kennedy Toole's comic masterpiece is available in a large print edition. Toole's lunatic and sage novel introduces one of the most memorable characters in American literature, Ignatius Reilly, whom Walker Percy dubs "slob extraordinaire, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one." Set in New Orleans, A confederacy of Dunces outswifts Swift, one of whose essays gives the book its title. As its characters burst into life, they leave the region and literature forever changed by their presence-Ignatius and his mother; Miss Trixie, the octogenarian assistant accountant at Levi Pants; inept, wan Patrolman Mancuso; Darlene, the Bourbon Street stripper with a penchant for poultry; Jones the jivecat in spaceage dark glasses. Included here is the introduction that writer and New Orleans resident Andrei Codrescu composed for the book's twentieth anniversary. Set in oversized type for ease in reading, the large print edition will gratify both first-timers seeking to discover this modern-day classic and longtime afficionados wishing to reread a favorite novel.
相信大多数人都是被这个有意思的书名吸引的,而这个名字也是全书的精华所在——笨蛋们的联盟,一群笨蛋聚在一起会产生什么效果呢?封面上滑稽可笑的小丑也给这本书铺上了一层幽默荒诞的底色。 书中出现的所有人物几乎都可以用“笨蛋”一词来形容,没有一个是“正常...
评分献给我的朋友竹人。 ---------------------------- 我还从来没读过一本书,主人公能令人讨厌得超凡脱俗。《笨伯联盟》(A Confederacy of Dunces)中这位新奥尔良的伊格内修斯·赖利(Ignatius Reilly)可真是疯子中的极品,傻瓜中的天仙,与现实脱节到人神共愤的地步。他一...
评分读的不多,但这是最奇怪的一本。 被乔纳森的话引导,起初觉得他是一个天才。为了看透社会的庸俗,选择把自己边缘化。正所谓“不识庐山真面目”,一切都是合情合理。直到在Ignatius J. Reilly和Myrna Minkoff的信和Ignatius对母亲的态度中渐渐觉得这是一个可厌之人。他随意宣泄...
评分 评分一部伟大的小说,注定不会被埋没,哪怕它的作者默默无闻甚至已经不在这个世界上,哪怕它的内容荒诞不经甚至疯言疯语,但在这荒诞疯癫的背后,却是洞悉世事与人性的深刻,给阅读的人以独特的启迪。对于读者,不同时代的人,不同生活经历的人,不同人生理想目标的人,也会对这样...

评分When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. 施老师说他觉得最好的小说应该是笑中带泪的,感觉读这本小说就是放肆笑完之后是深深的沉默,悲剧往往和喜剧只有一线之隔,人生既不是悲剧也不是喜剧,而是一场悲喜剧,我想这就是波拉尼奥把它列为自己最爱的几本书之一的原因吧。第一章里那些酒馆的对话很美剧,让我想到了丧到家的《百年酒馆》。
