“I refuse to "look up." Optimism nauseates me. It is perverse. Since man's fall, his proper position in the universe has been one of misery.”

Cover of book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Set in New Orleans with a wild cast of characters. A novel with many threads that tie together satisfyingly. Hilarious, sad, but ultimately redeeming. The backstory of the author and novel is pretty fascinating. Loved it.

Dicen que la vida se puede recorrer por dos caminos: el bueno y el malo. Yo no creo eso. Yo más bien creo que son tres: el bueno, el malo y el que te dejan recorrer.

#JohnKennedyToole #Laconjuradelosnecios genial, entretenido, me recuerda a PG Wodehouse y su capacidad de juntar en una escena rocambolesca a todos los personajes para que todo tenga sentido al final. La traducción no creo que refleje fielmente el vocabulario del original.
"Discover the chaotic brilliance of A Confederacy of Dunces, a satire that still resonates."

Obra difícil de calificar, con un humor mordaz y corrosivo, aunque a veces se sobrepasa en el absurdo, es una crítica a la sociedad que hemos construido. Me gustó, pero entiendo a quienes les pueda parecer lenta o una soberana tontera. #literatura #johnkennedytoole #felicidad
