La conjura de los necios es una novela picaresca ambientada en Nueva Orleans. El protagonista, Ignatius Reilly, es un personaje memorable, una mezcla de Oliver Hardy delirante, Don Quijote adiposo y Tomás de Aquino perverso. A sus 30 años, vive con su madre y se dedica a escribir una denuncia contra el siglo XX. Por necesidad de dinero, se ve obligado a trabajar, embarcándose en empleos de lo más disparatado. Los personajes secundarios son tan exóticos como los de una película de los Marx Brothers.
John Kennedy Toole was an American novelist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose posthumously published novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981. At 16 in 1954, he wrote his first novel, The Neon Bible, which he shelved in the same year, not finding a willing publisher; he later dismissed it as "adolescent". Toole was a successful and popular professor, first at University of Southwestern Louisiana, then Hunter College, and finally St. Mary's Dominican College in New Orleans. Having persuaded Simon & Schuster, however, to accept A Confederacy of Dunces, he was unable to resolve editorial disputes. Due in part to the novel's failure, he suffered from paranoia and depression, dying by suicide at the age of 31.
