約翰·肯尼迪·圖爾(John Kennedy Toole)美國著名作傢。1937年生於新奧爾良。哥倫比亞大學畢業後,曾執教於西南路易斯安那亨特學院和新奧爾良多米尼加學院。十幾歲時,圖爾就開始長篇小說《笨蛋聯盟》的創作。1980年,在母親的努力下,《笨蛋聯盟》得以齣版,很快引起讀者的轟動,並於次年斬獲美國文學界最權威的奬項——普利策小說奬。
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.

評分 評分在还没有开始读这本书之前,已经被作者序写的话吸引——”我不仅仅是对自己的作品不怀有任何希望,而且对这个社会也失望透顶,像我这样的人,也许只有一条道路可以选择,那就是尽快死去,以脱离这无情的现实。“ 一个人,是怎样饱受过社会的摧残和压迫才会有这样...
評分周末闲逛书店,看到《笨蛋联盟》这本书,就被封面设计所吸引。小丑眼神中不经意间流露的嬉笑、轻蔑、高傲,正流露出一出喜剧背后多彩的故事。翻了翻关于作者的介绍,那样坎坷的经历,是每一个不平凡的人物在这个平凡的世界所必然遭遇到的苦闷,作者用自杀结束了自己的一生,虽...
When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. 施老師說他覺得最好的小說應該是笑中帶淚的,感覺讀這本小說就是放肆笑完之後是深深的沉默,悲劇往往和喜劇隻有一綫之隔,人生既不是悲劇也不是喜劇,而是一場悲喜劇,我想這就是波拉尼奧把它列為自己最愛的幾本書之一的原因吧。第一章裏那些酒館的對話很美劇,讓我想到瞭喪到傢的《百年酒館》。
