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.
Heartfelt emotion, communicated in clean direct prose . . . a
remarkable achievement.
*New York Times*
A powerful novel that belongs on the shelf with the works of
Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers and Eudora Welty.
*Orlando Sentinel*
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.
*Florence King*
Shockingly mature. . . . Even at sixteen, Toole knew that the way
to write about complex emotions is to express them simply.
*Chicago Tribune*
