A Confederacy of Dunces Free Audiobook Download by John Kennedy Toole

In the early 1960s, John Kennedy Toole was working as a night-shift janitor at a state mental hospital in New Orleans when he began writing the novel that would become "Confederacy of Dunces". Toole's unique voice rings out through Barrett Whitener's narration.

This book is a satire of New Orleans life in the 1930s when it was a French-speaking city. Ignatius J. Reilly is a college dropout who lives with his mother and tells people he's 21. He eats everything in sight, swears constantly and talks to himself. A Confederacy of Dunces sounds like an easy, comfortable read but it's not, because you're always waiting for something to happen that will change the course of the story for good or for bad.

The audiobook was narrated by Barrett Whitener, a person with a deep Southern voice and unique sounding accent. There was some fun moments when the narrator is ambiguous about what he meant to say, which would lead to him laughing and sighing in frustration.
