Podcast appearances and mentions of Ignatius J Reilly

Selle nädala Kuku Raadio järjejutuminutites elame kaasa misantroobist õpetlase Ignatius J. Reilly äpardustele ja seiklustele USA lõunaosariikides.

John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces is internationally revered for having captured the essence and eccentricity of New Orleans — and for introducing readers to its larger-than-life protagonist, Ignatius J. Reilly. On this week's show, we take a culinary look between the pages of the book that was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1981. We begin with Spud McConnell, well known for his portrayal of Ignatius on stage. The Gonzales-born actor has become so recognized for his embodiment of the role, that the statue of the portly protagonist, which is located on a sidewalk in front of the old D.H. Holmes building on Canal Street, was modeled after him. Then, we speak with Cynthia LeJeune Nobles, who examined food as a character in the novel, compiling recipes for her gastronomical homage to Ignatius, A Confederacy of Dunces Cookbook. Cynthia spent 18 months engrossed in the novel, and like Spud, developed a personal relationship with Ignatius and his world — jelly doughnuts and all. From there, we venture through the streets of the French Quarter to a Lucky Dog hot dog cart, which served as the setting for one of the most memorable — and gluttonous — moments in the novel. Lucky Dog's owner, Jerry Strahan, is the author of Managing Ignatius: The Lunacy of Lucky Dogs and Life in the Quarter. He discusses his iconic business and its legendary employees. Finally, we wash it all down with Ignatius's favorite local soft drink: Dr. Nut. Having disappeared from grocery shelves decades ago, the beverage is as enigmatic as Ignatius himself. Designer Phillip Collier, the author of Making New Orleans, sheds some light on the mysterious Dr. Nut and provides us with an alcoholic version that he believes closely resembles the original recipe.

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.'A Confederacy Of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole is a picaresque novel of a fat delusional man named Ignatius J. Reilly. He is a bombastic rogue living in a corrupt world and is forced to get a job by his domineering mother. His interactions with other zany characters progressively decline and become more and more outlandish.I summarised the book as follows. "Only a dunce would NOT find this funny. I only covered a couple of the anecdotes of the wonderful mishaps of Ignatius as they are numerous. Certainly is the type of person who is more fun in print than in real life. It lacks the deep cutting drive of something like Catch-22 but if you want a laugh I'd recommend this"I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

The boys (sans Friedrich) wrap Season 3 by talking about the perfect capstone book: John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. They take one last gander at form (picaresque? satire?), discuss Fortuna's wheel, and think through what it means to be a political and artistic outsider in the vein of Ignatius J. Reilly. They also talk localism and other weird political alignments that defy the usual American dichotomies. Theme Music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza

No hay otra ciudad de Estados Unidos que albergue a personajes tan disparatados como Nueva Orleans. Desde el inepto policía que persigue criminales en donde no los hay, hasta la sociedad de homosexuales refinados que celebra tertulias desenfrenadas sin pudor, pasando por los trabajadores negros oprimidos por el capataz blanco, en La conjura de los necios vemos desfilar, como en un lienzo de Pieter Brueghel el Viejo o una película de Federico Fellini, a los distintos estamentos de la sociedad con todas sus contradicciones. Ninguno escapa del sarcasmo de John Kennedy Toole (1937-1969), quien, en sus escasos años de vida, trató de maquillar con risas la mueca dolorosa de una tragedia personal. Cuando reímos con las ridículas piruetas de Ignatius J. Reilly, en realidad reímos de nosotros mismos. En esta ocasión, en #culturamínima partimos en busca de la risa perdida... ¡Acompáñanos!

We're throwing it back again this Thursday, with another favorite episode from our past! Remember, we return with a NEW episode on January 13th, 2022, the start of our THIRD SEASON. 'Til then, we're ecstatic to share with you the shows still living rent-free in our heads. And now for the crass: The life of the sometimes-brilliant Ignatius J. Reilly is one comedic tragedy after another. He lives with his mother, dresses funny, isn't particularly charming, but has enough self-assurance to compensate for all he's lacking — or at least that's what he tells himself. In A Confederacy of Dunces, we follow a particular chapter in Ignatius's life that involves a hot dog, a pet cockatoo, and a valve — all set in the beautiful city of New Orleans. Written in the 60s, it is somehow an accurate study of 21st-century male loneliness and inertia in America. Yup. It's a comedy. Before tackling Ignatius, we'll share some tips on dealing with obnoxious people. Save this one for your next family reunion.

In this episode, I speak with podcast regular (see episode 14 on Walker Percy), Professor Jessica Hooten Wilson, about Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy and John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces. We discuss one of the greatest literary figures of all time, Ignatius J. Reilly, “slob extraordinary, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas all rolled into one” and his “great gaseous rages and lunatic adventures.” We discuss why a recent New Yorker hit piece on Ignatius is just plain embarrassing for its author, insofar as it displays an all too familiar inability to read books. But it is not difficult to be more intellectually sophisticated than the New Yorker these days, and we invite you to read this Pulitzer Prize novel as the work of comic art it truly is. I hope you enjoy laughter, because there is quite a bit in this episode!

This week, we review another book that was overlooked in its time.  A decade after its author John Kennedy Toole committed suicide, A Confederacy of Dunces was published and won the Pulitzer in 1981. However, not all of us were as impressed by this bold satire.  Is print the wrong medium for this work?  Has our toxic political climate turned us off of a character like Ignatius J. Reilly?  Or is this novel just too dated? We discuss these questions and more in this episode.This is the first novel in our Postmodern Novels of the South series.

It was on this day in 1976 that novelist Walker Percy sat down to write a letter to Thelma Toole in response to a manuscript she had given him a week prior. The manuscript would become the Pulitzer Prize winning novel "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. Learn more on today's "A Day in the Life."

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo.

This week, Will Evans joins us to talk about contemporary Russian literature (READ THIS BOOK) and the Read Russia initiative at this year's BEA. (Sidenote: click on that link just to see the section at the bottom left corner where you can share the page via "Socialist Media." Seriously.) We talk about Zakhar Prilepin, Mikhail Shishkin, Dmitry Danilov (who looks a bit like Ignatius J. Reilly, see below), and Oleg Kashin. We also talk a bit about Will's plan to start a new publishing company in Dallas that's focused on literature in translation . . .
