Schreiner group to discuss ‘A Confederacy
of Dunces’
Schreiner
University professor Dr. Jude Gallik will host a Monday Night
Fiction discussion of John Kennedy Toole’s “A Confederacy of Dunces”
at 7 p.m., Monday, March 10, in the Scarle Phillips Room of
Logan Library on Schreiner campus.
Toole’s Pulitzer
Prize-winning novel was published posthumously, 11 years after the
author’s suicide. The book’s protagonist, Ignatius J. Reilly, who
lives with his widowed mother, is obsessed with the absurdity and
bad taste of pop culture. Many critics and readers think “A
Confederacy of Dunces” is one of the most accurate fictional
pictures of New Orleans. |
