I was in New Orleans for a conference and a friend reminded me Ignacious was pretty close to where I was staying. So on my lunch break I ventured out into the city. I was traveling alone so i walked to Ignacious using Google maps, the directions were good and I got to see some amazing architecture on my adventure. On my walk I got to take in the bustle of the city, listen to music, watch the trolley, and explore. Upon locating Ignacious I was thrilled and the book nerd inside of me was STOKED! I took my picture with Ignacious and turned around to take in the view he has each day. Please, visit Ignacious and take a moment to appreciate all that is around you...

I love Confederacy of Dunces! I got the book as a gift a week before going to New Orleans and had to see Ignatius on my trip. It was so much fun reading the book and experiencing all of those details in the city. The statue was wonderful. The only problem is that they have a chain like fence in front of the statue so you have to go in from the side to see all the details. Makes it really hard to take a front-view photo of the statue.

Most people who have not read Confederacy of Dunces would never understand. Most that are not from New Orleans and have read the book still don’t. Mom would shop on Canal Street and if the kids wanted to wander off we were always told to meet up under “The Clock” at D.H. Homes Department Store. This statue of Ignatius J. Reilly is a great reminder of a happy time.

Эта статуя в Новом Орлеане, изображающая дородную фигуру в нелепой шляпе, отдает дань уважения классику сатирической литературы.

Вечно ожидающая перед отелем Hyatt Centric в Новом Орлеане приземистая бронзовая фигура Игнатиуса Дж. Рейли отдает дань уважения одному из величайших сатирических романов, когда-либо написанных.

Игнатиус Дж. Рейли — главный герой комедийного шедевра Джона Кеннеди Тула «Сговор остолопов». В романе Рейли слоняется по слегка вымышленному Новому Орлеану, натыкаясь на зверинец местного колорита, по сути мифологизирующий город Новый Орлеан. С учетом прочных повествовательных связей с городом неудивительно, что роман, удостоенный Пулитцеровской премии, будет чествоваться на его улицах.

Статуя стоит снаружи бывшего универмага DH Holmes, где также происходит первая сцена книги. В рассказе Игнатиус ждет свою мать под часами магазина в своей фирменной кепке, и в реальной жизни статуя безошибочно узнается в этом культовом наряде.

«Сговор остолопов» был выпущен в 1980 году, и хотя его популярность в литературных кругах только росла, многие прохожие у статуи понятия не имеют, кого она представляет. Часто также думают, что ее убрали, но ее просто заносят внутрь во время Марди Гра, чтобы бедный простак не пострадал.

Рукопись Тула неоднократно отклонялась, и в возрасте 31 года он покончил с собой. Тельма Тул, его мать, наконец-то опубликовала книгу 11 лет спустя, и Тул впоследствии получил посмертную...
