The Neon Bible es una novela del autor estadounidense John Kennedy Toole, publicada póstumamente en 1989. Escrita cuando Toole tenía solo 16 años, la novela ofrece una mirada conmovedora a la vida de un joven en el sur de Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A través de la historia de David, el protagonista, Toole explora temas como la religión, la hipocresía y la búsqueda de la identidad en un mundo lleno de prejuicios y conflictos.
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.
