Beneath the absurdity is a biting satire about American culture, ego, and the people who think they\u2019re smarter than everyone else. You may also find yourself deeply craving a Lucky Dog hot dog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>My thoughts and discussion kickoff<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Ignatius J. Reilly is over-educated, underemployed and lives with his mother in New Orleans\u2019 downtrodden French Quarter in the 1960s. He\u2019s lazy, despises modern society and completely convinced that everyone else is the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As a literary character, he\u2019s ridiculous, infuriating and impossible to forget or easily classify. Is he a misunderstood rebel? A world-class blowhard? Or simply what happens when intelligence, grievance, and a complete lack of self-awareness inhabit a single human?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you skipped the forward of the book, I ask you to go back and read it. You\u2019ll learn about the book\u2019s author and his sad demise after failing to find a buyer for this extraordinary work. No one should win a posthumous Pulitzer at the age of 31.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book\u2019s title refers to a passage from a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jonathan_Swift\"><span>Jonathan Swift<\/span><\/a><span> essay that reads, \u201cWhen a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dunce\"><span>dunces<\/span><\/a><span> are all in confederacy against him.\u201d (From: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/public-library.uk\/ebooks\/97\/26.pdf\"><span>Thoughts on Various Subjects, Moral and Diverting.<\/span><\/a><span>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>What\u2019s your take on Ignatius and his misadventures? The other characters? Your thoughts on the book\u2019s origin story? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>MM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>P.S. As a bonus, take a look at \u201c<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/public-library.uk\/ebooks\/97\/26.pdf\"><span>Thoughts on Various Subjects, Moral and Diverting<\/span><\/a><span>,\u201d the Jonathan Swift work that inspired the book. It\u2019s only six pages long and worth the minutes you\u2019ll spend on it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Published in 1706, it\u2019s essentially a list of Swift\u2019s views on various aspects of life, notably politics, religion and human behavior. As with all his satire, Swift\u2019s goal was to provoke you to think. One of my favorite observations is the first line, \u201cWe have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Find links to discussion pages for the other books on <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelmoore.com\/p\/mmbook-club-hub-august2026\">this month\u2019s Book Club Hub<\/a><\/strong><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-attrs=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.michaelmoore.com\/p\/mm-book-club-discussion-a-confederacy?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}\" data-component-name=\"ButtonCreateButton\" class=\"button-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelmoore.com\/p\/mm-book-club-discussion-a-confederacy?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share\" class=\"button primary\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>** <\/span><em>In order to keep the comments free of trolls and hate \u2014 and because, if there\u2019s one thing I know about my crazy haters, it\u2019s that they would rather spend 18 hours assembling a complicated nine-drawer IKEA dresser with no instructions while listening to bagpipes playing \u201cBaby Shark\u201d on repeat than give me $5 \u2014 only paid subscribers can comment here.
