A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.
Alexander Pope

Carroll O'Connor

Isaac D'Israeli

Jonathan Swift

I like characters like Ignatius Reilly in 'A Confederacy of Dunces' and Ricky Gervais's character in 'The Office.' They think one thing about themselves, but the truth is as far from that as it can be. So I began to think about how to put that kind of character in a book for kids.
Stephan Pastis
I would like to see 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole adapted.
