This book is set in New Orleans and documents the interrelated lives of a number of poor and generally unattractive people, central among them one Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, gluttonous, fat slob spoiled by his mother and distinguished by his extraordinary conceit and his incongruously fastidious command of the English language.
