Sinossi
In Ignatius Rising, Rene Pol Nevils and Deborah George Hardy present the first biography of John Kennedy Toole, a work based upon scores of interviews with contemporaries of the writer and acquaintances of his mother, Thelma, as well as unpublished letters, documents, and photographs. Known variously as "Ken," "Tooley," and "John," Toole is revealed to have been many things: a coddled only child; an academic prodigy; a soul tortured by conflicting feelings for his mother and about his sexual identity; a fun-loving cut-up, a master of mimicry, and a conversationalist nonpareil; an impeccable, popular college teacher; a straitlaced constant worrier by day and a back-street blues devotee at night; a writer who cherished the many nuances of his native city, New Orleans; and a man ultimately depressed, overweight, hard-drinking, promiscuous, and mad.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. This is a biography of the author of the phenomenally successful, Pulitzer Prize-winning "A Confederacy of Dunces". John Kennedy Toole is revealed to have been many things: a mollycoddled only child; an academic prodigy; a soul tortured by conflicting feelings for his mother and about his sexual identity; and a fun-loving master of mimicry. The authors recount the numerous hands his novel went through on its way to realization as a book, including those of Robert Gottlieb, Hodding Carter Jr, Walker Percy, Roger Strauss, and Les Phillabaum. Toole's mother Thelma is reflected in all her fascinating and irritating dysfunction, and receives due credit for bringing her son's novel to its enthusiastic readership, even as her contribution to his suicidal state of mind is pondered.
