Ever since beginning John Kennedy Toole’s tome, A Confederacy of Dunces, I have had the sneaking suspicion that I’ve been emulating his style and/or the general mindset of his protagonist. The somewhat frightening aspect of this realization is that this emulation dates back far before I began reading the book. Whether I’m writing seriously or satirically, I come across as an amateurishly devoted fan of this one unique writing style, one that I had previously ascribed to my own invention. If anyone was under the impression that this stylistic decision was intentional, I apologize for the confusion. I’ve even recently toyed with the idea of succumbing to my innate caricature by subheading my site with “The blog of Ignatius J. Reilly”, but instead of completing my transformation, I have set out to drastically modify my tone and style to one more suited to the unparalleled and unique wit that I possess.
