Book Awards Reading Challenge

I recently completed A Confederacy of Dunces, Pulitzer Prize winner of 1981. I originally picked it for the Southern Reading Challenge as it is set in New Orleans. I had never heard of the character of Ignatius J Reilly before, and I'm not sure why, because surely, there is no character like him in literature. This thirty year old, over educated, doofus, still living with his mother wreaks havoc wherever he goes. This comedy is filled with very interesting characters and was laugh out loud funny in parts.
