A Confederacy of Dunces 是一部美国喜剧杰作。John Kennedy Toole 笔下的主人公是 Ignatius J. Reilly，他“身材庞大、肥胖、暴躁且挑剔，宛如现代的 Gargantua，又似 French Quarter 的 Don Quixote。他的故事中洋溢着全新独创的人物角色、New Orleans 底层社会的居民、逼真绝妙的对话，以及一系列令人捧腹、雅俗交织的滑稽冒险历程。”

我永远也拿不准到底《猫的摇篮》是我读过最搞笑的书，还是图尔的《笨蛋联盟》。有时候觉得《笨蛋联盟》更胜一筹，但大多数时候只要一想到九号冰，我就又立刻倒戈站回库尔特阵营了。
I can never decide if Cat's Cradle is the funniest book I've ever read, or Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. Some days, Dunces wins, but the majority of the time all it takes is remembering ice-nine and it's back to camp Kurt I go.
试试看这几本有点非主流的美国小说：1. 拉里·麦克穆特瑞的《孤独鸽》 2. 卡森·麦卡勒斯的《心是孤独的猎手》 3. 约翰·肯尼迪·图尔的《笨蛋联盟》。它们都是极好的小说，可惜没有得到应有的名气。如果你喜欢看电影，像德国导演维姆·文德斯的《德州巴黎》，或者《A…
Try somewhat off-beat American novels: 1. Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurty 2. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers 3. A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole They are great novels, and sadly, are less known than they should be. If you are into movies, there are great ones like "Paris, Texas" by the German director Wim Wenders, or "A…
这是我唯一一次读到关于波爱修斯的地方，也是我脑海里冒出的第一件事。就算读过《笨蛋联盟》的人比读过波爱修斯任何作品（不论有没有译本）的人还多，我也一点不觉得奇怪。这绝非贬低波爱修斯，纯粹是图尔的作品实在太棒了。
It's the only place I've ever read about Boethius, and the first thing that came to mind. I wouldn't be surprised if more people have read A Confederacy of Dunces than anything written by Boethius, translated or not. Not to the detriment of Boethius; Toole's work is just that good.

约翰·肯尼迪·图尔的《笨蛋联盟》 罗尔德·达尔的《查理和巧克力工厂》

很难选出哪本是“最伟大”的，但我最近重读了约翰·肯尼迪·图尔的《笨蛋联盟》，它依然和初读时一样精彩绝伦。
It's quite hard to pick the "greatest", but I recently re-read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, and it's still as wonderful as the first time I read it.
