About the book

Set in the vibrant streets of New Orleans, this comic novel follows Ignatius J. Reilly, an eccentric, argumentative and self-proclaimed intellectual whose grand theories about society rarely match the realities of everyday life. After being forced to seek employment, Ignatius embarks on a series of chaotic adventures that bring him into contact with an unforgettable cast of characters. Filled with satire, absurd situations and sharp social commentary, the novel offers a hilarious portrait of pride, laziness, ambition and human folly.
