Synopsis
Ignatius J. Reilly, a grossly overweight medieval scholar who lives with his mother, is forced to seek employment when she can no longer tolerate his laziness. His disdainful encounters with the modern culture of New Orleans, his habitual misunderstanding of its inhabitants (some of them no less eccentric than himself) and his often hypocritical efforts at scholarly success make him one of the most memorable comic characters of modern literature.

Reviews
Going into it, I didn't know what to expect from this book. The other review said the accents were wrong and it would be misleading for any outsiders. It never bothered me a bit. Once the character of Ignatius is built out, it is a non stop riot. I can't wait to let this mentally digest for a few months then listen to it again.
