WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT 🤔💭
Toole’s “A Confederacy of Dunces” follows the unforgettable Ignatius J. Reilly, a larger-than-life, highly opinionated character who stumbles his way through one absurd situation after another. The novel is a masterclass in satire, poking fun at everything from academia to pop culture to the mundane absurdities of daily life.
Expect a discussion filled with humor, sharp observations, and debates about Ignatius, one of literature’s most polarizing protagonists. Whether you love him or love to hate him, there’s plenty to unpack in this wild, witty ride.
