  • "El protagonista de esta novela es uno de los personajes más memorables de la literatura norteamericana: Ignatius Reilly --una mezcla de Oliver Hardy delirante, Don Quijote adiposo y santo Tomás de Aquino perverso, reunidos en una persona--, que a los treinta años aún vive con su estrafalaria madre, está ocupado en escribir una extensa y demoledora denuncia contra nuestro siglo, tan carente de "teología geometría" como de "decencia y buen gusto"; un alegato desquiciado contra una sociedad desquiciada. Por una inesperada necesidad de dinero, se ve "catapultado en la fiebre de la existencia contemporánea", fiebre a la que Ignatius añadirá unos cuantos grandes más."
  • "Considered by most to be completely unhinged, Ignatius tours the fleshpots of New Orleans in order to preach his moral message.

Originally published: U.S.: Louisiana State University."@en

Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh-pots of a fallen city, filling his Big Chief tablets with invective, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must go to work."@en
