So did Lana get raped at the end or what? Aside from that this ended way happier than I thought it would.
>>25206762The ending was really great. This is one of my favorite books
>>25206762His mom became an awful person. Glad he escaped her
>>25206762It's been a long time but I thought the ending was supposed to not be happy because it shows he's being enabled to keep acting like a retard and will never change>>25206959Same
>>25206982I don't think he can help himself. At least he didn't get institutionalized.Wish he didn't kill himself and made a sequel about his shenanigans in NY with the minka minx
>>25206762easily one of the best books of all time. but because its not sad depressing and brooding nobody cares about it.
>>25207006I think its pretty sad
>>25206762It's strange. Ignatius is obviously stupid, narcissistic, and disgusting. And yet, I can't help but root for him as he escapes the mental hospital. By the end of the book, I have to admit that there's something heroic in a personality so utterly uncompromising, in such an absolute refusal to be a product of your time, even if by every reasonable standard you're acting like a complete retard.
WOAH!>>25207036it helps that a lot of the supporting characters are also idiots.
>>25207049A confederacy of dunces against him
>>25206762I wonder, is Ignatius for New Orleans what Leopold Bloom is for Dublin? Culturally that is.
>>25206762I went to New orleans to see the Ignatius statue but it was like a fucking zoo over there. Couldn't even look at the statue because I had to worry about people jumping in front of my car. I gave up and just left
>>25207208I guess that answers >>25207205
>>25207215Kek yea I guess. Sorry if I ruined it. I was actually pretty sad when I left I think I even had the book with me
>>25206762Why would it not be at least slightly upbeat? The whole novel is comedic in nature.
>>25207232Not at all. Perhaps you should visit another time yourself if it isn’t too long a journey, just pick a better time for it lel.
honestly, honestly FUCK that motherfuckin santa battaglia
>>25207208So you're saying you stopped and/or parked your car on Canal St. and tried to rubberneck to see the Ignatius statue, which last I saw was tucked behind construction and scaffolding and shit, in order to look at the Ignatius statue, and you're wondering why people were aping the fuck out? Get a hotel, pay for parking, don't drive your car around New Orleans for like 10 reasons just off the top of my head. Take the street car down to Casamento's and have some oysters.
>>25207336Shut up mr “I know New Orleans like the back of my hand”
>>25206762the joke is she's a stereotypical jewess libtard and she was involved in nigger worship activism in nyc and the niggers used her for sex then dumped her and she came running back home and was what ignatious needed to finally leave the nest
>>25207325What was her problem?
Lana got raped right?
a rule of thumb is if it seems like a character got raped they probably did
Was she the night club owner? I don't remember what happened to her at the end
>>25209560She got caught soliciting Mancuso for sex not knowing he was an undercover cop. She's thrown in jail and supposedly raped by the 3 lesbians in there with her.[/spoilers]
>>25209878Oh yea. The cop wearing disguises was kino
