Not delivered on the 18th. Nt the fault of publisher. Totally the fault of USPS. Amazingly, Blackstone offered to, and indeed did, reprint this audio book. I got it today from them--- 4/25/24. Thank you, Blackstone. I will be a customer for life!

Unabridged Blackstone Audio Edition
John Kennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, quintessentially American, madcap satire introduces readers to one of literature’s most memorable anti-heroes. Ignatius J. Reilly is a grossly overweight, outspoken, germ-phobic slob of a hypochondriac, who is obsessed with his own self-importance. At 30, he is unemployed and rarely leaves his home, but he still sees himself as an authority on everything that’s wrong with his country -- which is just about everything. He lives in New Orleans with his long-suffering but devoted mother, who suddenly determines that she has indulged him long enough; their money has run out, and Ignatius must find his first job. Thus begins a non-stop series of hilarious episodes as Ignatius, at once over- and under-qualified for entry-level positions, gets himself ... John Kennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize-winning, quintessentially American, madcap satire introduces readers to one of literature’s most memorable anti-heroes. Ignatius J. Reilly is a grossly overweight, outspoken, germ-phobic slob of a hypochondriac, who is obsessed with his own self-importance. At 30, he is unemployed and rarely leaves his home, but he still sees himself as an authority on everything that’s wrong with his country -- which is just about everything. He lives in New Orleans with his long-suffering but devoted mother, who suddenly determines that she has indulged him long enough; their money has run out, and Ignatius must find his first job. Thus begins a non-stop series of hilarious episodes as Ignatius, at once over- and under-qualified for entry-level positions, gets himself hired and fired from a series of low-paying jobs, each of which he sees as a creative opportunity to address various societal ills. The novel is peopled with a host of wacky characters who run amok at cross-purposes. As reader, Barrett Whitener gives each a recognizable and very appropriate voice. The one he uses for Reilly -- big, booming, and pompously fatuous -- especially heightens the audiobook’s comic appeal. This is a literary novel that owes a debt to Rabelais and Cervantes. Some readers may find both Reilly's obnoxious personality and the episodic nature of the book very tough to take. Most will find it an integral part of a highly inventive satire.

An audience of Dunces (A Confederacy of Dunces)
I'm sure I'l be ridiculed for disliking a pulitzer prize winner, but I have to believe that A Confederacy of Dunces won the emotional vote because its author committed suicide. Again, opening myself for crtitcizm, I listen to many audio books, and this is by far the most abhorrable abomination (to use a Ulyssean phrase)to grace my CD player. I could not even make it past disk 5. I purchased it only because I misplaced one of the library disks. I count it as the heftiest late fee I have ever been obligated to pay. Not returning this literary aversion would have been the finest act of philanthropy I could have performed, but, alas, I followed the money. I feel cheated to have lost the investment in time to those 4.5 disks and feel more bitterly to the reader whose foreword convinced me ...

I feel cheated to have lost the investment in time to those 4.5 disks and feel more bitterly to the reader whose foreword convinced me that I was about to be taken on a literary journey on character development and witty banter. Or at least a coherent story. I'll read Mother Goose next time and count myself enriched in comparison. In short, A Confedracy of Dunces is exactly what it is, a story only a mother could love.

Funny, insightful debunking of life
A delightful romp by the genius author: Toole. Great audio rendition of the excellent novel. A joy to listen to especially in the car on a trip. Not for everyone as a minority will pan it. I think one needs a sense of humor about life by debunking the seriousness and rules of behavior to appreciate his work. A shame he died a young man before his book won the Pulitzer prize.

Preposterous but Funny!
The whole thing is preposterous, but it bears enough resemblance to "people you know" that it will tickle your funny-bone. The reader is superb! ("Excellent" is not a strong enough word!) I'm on disc 3 and the story just keeps getting better. This was highly recommended by a friend and I could not find it at the library, so I was lucky to find it for sale at eBay. I am enjoying listening to it.The whole thing is preposterous, but it bears enough resemblance to "people you know" that it will tickle your funny-bone. The reader is superb!
