La conjura de los necios es una novela del escritor estadounidense John Kennedy Toole, publicada póstumamente en 1980. La historia sigue a Ignatius J. Reilly, un personaje obeso, excéntrico e intelectual que vive con su madre en Nueva Orleans. A través de una serie de desventuras cómicas, Ignatius se enfrenta a la búsqueda de empleo y a las peculiaridades de la sociedad moderna, mientras mantiene sus propias convicciones y excentricidades. La novela es una sátira mordaz de la sociedad estadounidense y ha sido elogiada por su humor, personajes memorables y su retrato de la vida en Nueva Orleans.
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.
