A Confederacy of Dunces Virtual Tour

[ComradeLeonTrotsky]

This video lacks geometry

[katsujinken10]

I love Take Five as much as the next person but couldn't you have used jazz more reflective of its birthplace like I dunno Louis Armstrong or something?

[phddddd]

To answer the final question, a rubber hose attached to an exhaust and fed into the closed windows of a car facing the Gulf in a parking lot in Biloxi says it all.

[theoldbeagle7]

Please check out Thomas Muldoon's SMOKING in BATHROOMS. Fucking funny. Can be gotten at Amazon.

[mtheadedwally]

Amazing book and it is great to be able to put some actual places to the names in the book. I must admit, New Orleans isn't at all like I'd imagined it to be.

Thanks for a great video.

[natxog1975]

nice. thank you

[tdubasdfg]

DBQ FTW

[Tortio1]

This video is very interesting. Thank you:) I am reading it right now and the book is great. I was shocked when I found out that J. K. Toole committed suicide.

[ElSpamer]

it's hard to read the white caracters ... from the background :-(

[SilentKage0]

I know :\

I originally had uploaded the first edit and never put up the final version. Sorry!

[iiiggnatiuzz]

There was a kid´s movie which main character was called Ignatius Reilly (he was a kid), and was a sort of a parody of the novel. Anyone´s seen it?

[charpmike35]

Keep running Ignatius they'll never catch you!!!

[iiiggnatiuzz]

I hope they don´t. What a great novel. What a great character. In my family, we used to call my grandpa "Ignatius", because he would watch  stupid TV shows just to be angry at them.

[charpmike35]

In the spirit of Ignatius it would be best if they did make a movie just so us book fans could sit back with four or five bags of popcorn and critisize it.

What Filth!

[sophizzy]

Thank you for making this - ACoD is my all time favorite book. Weren't they supposed to be making a movie out of the novel?

[JF610]

My favorite book. I've read it 5 times, once per year since I bought it... maybe when I finish Night Watch I'll read it again.

Great video, it's really interesting to see that all the locations mentioned in the novel do really exist. Saddly, they're not just how I imagined them :(

[SilentKage0]

Remember that the novel is set in a different time period :)

[alfia]

Thanks for making this. This is one of my favorite books and I'm re-reading it now for a book club. I've always wanted to know what the places look like. Cool.

[ctrich3]

you spelled "escape" wrong

[NinjaSpidey]

Great job. Some of the text was a bit hard to read and it went by too quickly, but it was really interesting seeing New Orleans, and where events in the story took place.

[SilentKage0]

Yeah, I know what you mean. This was our first try and it came out a bit rough. I should upload the final version.

Thanks, and I'm glad you liked it!

[FlamingDingleberryoD]

He didn't steal from the store, he was arrested for being black in a store where someone stole cashews, a policeman saw him and assumed it was him.

[SilentKage0]

I know. That's why "stole" is in quotation marks.

;)

[frexedo]

gracias aunque he imaginado que el lugar en su momento habría de ser más humilde.

[fightingnate]

Good but would have been more apropos with pictures of 1960's New Orleans.

[ZarathustraJohnson1]

Excellent! 5 stars. You should have gone to Tulane to find Dr. Talc, though. I also would have liked to have seen Miss Trixie and Gonzales and perhaps a reinactment of the swordfight with Clyde in the hotdog warehouse. Alas, I'm afraid that might have been too much for my literal and sausagelike mind.

[SilentKage0]

Haha, that would have been awesome. I'm glad you liked it!

[LuckyGuu]

Have you read, "Managing Ignatius"?

I think you'll love, "One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding" (it's a trilogy) by Robert Gover

Thanks for this film!

[phddddd]

You've done a great job, and you know the answer to the question you pose at the end. It was the saddest ending of all. A rubber hose, an ignition, closed windows, seaside at Biloxi, before the advent of casinos. To be a posthumous winner of the Pulitzer Prize is not to be a winner. I cry for JKT. You play Brubeck, I'll end with Wilson: "I wasn't made for these times." Rejection is a mf.

[SilentKage0]

These are very true words.

Thanks for watching!

[BeijingMadame]

THANK YOU!!!

You did a great job!

[SilentKage0]

Thank you!

[sophizzy]

Thank you for making this...A Confederacy is my all time fave book it's just a shame that JKT ended his life without realising what a genious he was! Thank God his mom got the book published.

[SilentKage0]

Definitely. It's very sad.

He has left his mark and achieved immortality. We will always have A Confederacy of Dunces.

[yablowzer]

Just wanted to thank you. I must have purchased 20 copies of the book over the years and this completes the visual.

[SilentKage0]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it.

[SilentKage0]

Thank you very much!

New Orleans is a very unique place. Everything downtown looks different from anything else in the USA.

[Atomic22X]

What is the soundtrack song? I just finished the book a few days ago. Great slideshow.

[Atomic22X]

Dave Brubeck - Take Five! ...it was on the tip of my tongue the whole time.

[SilentKage0]

Haha! Yeah, it's a great song.

[randomnamefive]

great video. the book is the sole reason i want to go to new orleans. nice to see these places for real.

[five99mike]

great job on this. kudos

[aaahchuu]

Fun, thanks! I'd like to see Philip Seymour Hoffman play Ignatius. Going to read the book again, love it!

[seyton616]

wow! great vid!

[SilentKage0]

Thank you. It means a lot!

[steelekord]

should be required reading...

[SilentKage0]

Amen!

[federguer]

Well, the problem is that is very dificult to me find the owners of the legal rigths of this book (excuse my english) , so if someone could help me it would be great, it´s so much easier for you in usa to find this people, i`m too far. thanks, i wait an answer

Ah, yes. More stimulation to contribute to my already fertile "Rich Inner Life."
