Every Friday, at 11:00 am, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction.
For October 27, Coté will read aloud from John Kennedy Toole’s novel A Confederacy of Dunces.
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN 1981
Summary: A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece.
John Kennedy Toole’s hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, and his doomed attempts to integrate with society. A tad over-weight, a bit fractious and fastidious, Ignatius is otherwise happy as a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the South – only with hot dogs for windmills.
“His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans’ lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures” Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times
