Omschrijving
The accomplished and evocative first novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Confederacy of Dunces.
Heartfelt emotion, communicated in clean direct prose . . . a remarkable achievement.
A powerful novel that belongs on the shelf with the works of Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers and Eudora Welty.
John Kennedy Toole's tender, nostalgic side is as brilliantly effective as his corrosive satire. If you liked To Kill A Mockingbird you will love The Neon Bible.
Shockingly mature. . . . Even at sixteen, Toole knew that the way to write about complex emotions is to express them simply.
John Kennedy Toole (1937-1969), a native of New Orleans, graduated from Tulane University and received a master's degree in English from Columbia University. He received a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for his only other novel, A Confederacy of Dunces.
