Theology and Geometry cover

This collection, the first of its kind, brings together specially commissioned academic essays to mark fifty years since the death of John Kennedy Toole.

Like a multi-faceted jewel, A Confederacy of Dunces refracts light at multiple angles, beckoning the reader to peer beneath its surface. And certainly, much is to be found within its enthralling pages. Those who look might find in the glimmering a suggestion of something more, and Theology and Geometry will certainly help the reader to see it.
