Klappentext

A graphic novel adaptation of John Kennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize–winning cult classic—a wildly outrageous satiric portrait of 1960s America that still resonates today.
Set in the French Quarter of 1960s New Orleans, this cult-classic satire follows unforgettable misfit Ignatius J. Reilly as his misadventures ricochet from hot dog carts to Bourbon Street, and collide with the city’s politics, vice, and absurdity.

A wildly outrageous, darkly hilarious portrait of America, still razor-sharp and painfully relevant, reimagined in stunning visual form for lifelong fans and new readers.
**
For fans of the darkly funny counter-culture satire of Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse-Five.**
