oh fortuna…
was in new orleans during the beginning of the year, but Ignatius wasn’t.
what i speak of is the bronze of Ignatius J. Reilly, one of the beautiful characters from the book Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole. book published after his suicide, cult classic, pulitzer prize, all that. a couple heads tried to steal this masterpiece for some reason or other, but i suppose didn’t factor in the bronze part.they only made it a few feet away, and gave up hope. Ignatius is actually just in storage behind the frosted windows, awaiting fat tuesday to go back up. so i’ll see you soon, Ignatius.
