In Ignatius Rising, Rene Pol Nevils and Deborah George Hardy present the first biography of John Kennedy Toole. Toole, in despair, ended his life in 1967 after no publishing interest in his masterpiece "Confederacy of Dunces", which would go on to win a Pulitzer for satire in 1983. This bio is based upon scores of interviews with contemporaries of the writer and acquaintances of his mother, Thelma, as well as unpublished letters, documents, and photographs.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 and an academic prodigy. A soul tortured by conflicting feelings for his mother and about his sexual identity, and a fun-loving cut-up. A master of mimicry, and a conversationalist non-pareil. An impeccable and popular college teacher. A straight-laced worrier by day and a back-street blues devotee at night. And finally, a writer who cherished the eccentricities and nuances of his native city, New Orleans. 234 pages. Insured post.
