The collection in use: "The Conspiracy of Fools" by John Kennedy Toole
“The protagonist of this novel is one of the most memorable characters in North American literature: Ignatius Reilly -a mixture of delusional Oliver Hardy, adipose Don Quixote and perverse Saint Thomas Aquinas, gathered in one person-, who at thirty still he lives with his bizarre mother, he is busy writing a long and devastating denunciation against our century, as lacking in “geometry theology” as in “decency and good taste”; an insane plea against an insane society.”
