If you recall the ending, he fondles his stinky beatnik GFs hair from the backseat of a car. What do you anons think would have happened to him after that? In the long run?

i haven't read it but he sounds like a psycho killer. looking at your pic i assume that's him with a SWORD - he probably slit her throat and then ate that hoagie while gleefully admiring his foul handiwork. he even has the moustache of an inveterate sicko - definitely a sicko

You are correct. The 1980 film Maniac is an adaptation of this novel. Here is Joe Spinell in the lead role of the maniac, Ignatius J. Reilly.

I think he would have driven his car across the country and ended up committing suicide in Biloxi, Mississippi.

I watched a documentary about that, he apparently showed a few buddies the same spot/location he planned to kill himself at several years before. I scoped it out once while visiting a friend in Biloxi. I wonder what was so important to him there?

All he had to do at the end of the novel is survice on others pity for 10 years or so and wait for the internet to come. Then he could find followers and others like him.

Oh shit you're right, I forgot the mom published it much later. How did NEETS live back then? Maybe he would eventually get welfare and continue writing his manifestos more.

I'd like to imagine him and Mirna having a lovely relationship in NYC where Mirna tries to "fix" him and coax him into her hippy shit while Ignatius remains as stubborn and arrogant as ever.
