Reviews
"Like Ignatius J. Reilly, Toole never quite fit into the world. In A Confederacy of Dunces, the resulting tensions resolved into comedy. In his life, they ended in tragedy." - New York Times Book Review; "Brilliantly follows the downward spiral of Toole's life from pampered, prodiglous child to lost, hard-drinking, perhaps even schizophrenic adult.... [Toole's] story, lovingly and sadly chronicled by Nevils and Hardy, proves that even death can't keep a good book down." - Tampa Tribune; "If the ultimate compliment one can make of an artist's biography is that it makes you want to revisit the [artist's] work, Ignatius Rising hits that mark. The story of Toole is a tragic and bittersweet tale, but there is great joy in reading of the early development of Ignatius, a character so vividly drawn he will doubtlessly outlive the infamy of his creator." - Seattle Times; Rene Pol Nevils lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Rick. Deborah George Hardy is a member of the Paris Poetry Workshops and founding director of Littlestarfriends.com. She lives in Pasadena, California."
