Post Reply New Topic

I must tell you of all of the book "A Confederacy of Dunces," it is a book that is endleslly funny and depicts what I think to be the Asperger's mentality very well, (in extreme cases). It is about about a 30 year old man who lives with his mother in New Orleans, In the 1950's. He is very intelligent, but neurotic, paranoid, socially ret*d, etc. The book is beautifully written, with awesome, in-depth characters. Everyone in the book is funny. The use of language is inter-spectacular. Please read immediatelly.

Oh yeah it's written by John Kennedy Toole.

Faraquet it sounds really interesting. Is it newly released or can I find it in the library?

Oh, I've been meaning to read that one for ages. I bet it'll be my next obsession once I manage to get my hands on a copy. Heh.

Oh gosh - I read that book years ago and was just thinking about it recently and thinking that I'd like to read it again. Didn't occur to me that the main character might have been an Aspie. Well spotted! I think you may be right....

Just downloaded the ebook. After readubg the forward, looks like great stuff.

Think i might have to pick up the book.

Just out of interest, how much of this guys adventures relates to AS ?

Also what other fictional novels have something about AS in it ?
