John Kennedy Toole

John Kennedy Toole was an American novelist from New Orleans, Louisiana, whose posthumously published novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1981; he also wrote The Neon Bible. Although several people in the literary world felt his writing skills were praiseworthy, Toole's novels were rejected during his lifetime. Due in part to these failures, he suffered from paranoia and depression, dying by suicide at the age of 31.

Toole was born to a middle-class family in New Orleans. From a young age, his mother, Thelma, taught him an appreciation of culture. She was thoroughly involved in his affairs for most of his life, and at times they had a difficult relationship. With his mother's encouragement, Toole became a s

Tras éstos, siguieron un gran número, mezclando todo tipo de géneros: policíacos, misterio, ciencia ficción, hasta que me topé con la literatura fantástica. La mezcla de erotismo y fantasía ha hecho que, muchas de mis tardes, viviera en distintos mundos que sólo los sueños te permiten.
