Holy fuck, anons. This book was absolutely hilarious.

I feel like 4chan is a hellhole full of Ignatius Reillys.

I read this book and it was literally about me

I know this sounds like a bit but this is a true story: I sent my diary to 2 major publishing companies I won't name and six weeks later I received a severely worded cease-and-desist from a mid-tier legal firm I won't name representing the Toole estate, warning me of severe litigation forthcoming from my plagiarism of this book. Should I read it?

Read it, send it back, and tell them that the reason A Confederacy of Dunces is a good story is because it's incredibly relatable to young, arrogant manchildren.

This is like when normies read Catcher in the Rye and think the Holden guy speaks for them
