Just finished Confederacy of Dunces. Thoroughly enjoyed. Also been on a Maugham kick lately. What next?

Not that guy, but no it's not. Vineland is like a Confederacy of Dunces/Vonnegut mix.

Zoyd, a man who puts on a dress and jumps through a storefront window every year to prove he's too unbalanced to work, is very much like Ignatius. Not to mention Hector's addiction to television is similar to Ignatius's daily TV intake and the scenes he makes in the cinema.

Oh, and the Thantoids are like the New Orleans homos Ignatius falls in with--if not in character, then in spirit.
