Ignatius J. Reilly stands beneath the clock outside D.H. Holmes department store in New Orleans, an unmistakable figure in his green hunting cap, with his "fleshy balloon of a head" and bushy mustache. His massive body is draped in plaid flannel, and his haughty demeanor suggests he finds the world beneath his contempt. This 30-year-old medievalist philosopher-unemployed, living with his mother, and perpetually at odds with everything modern-is about to be thrust into a world he despises. When Officer Mancuso attempts to arrest Ignatius based solely on his bizarre appearance, it sets in motion a chain of events that will upend his carefully isolated existence. His mother Irene, after drinking too much at the seedy Night of Joy bar, crashes their Plymouth into a building. The resulting financial crisis forces Ignatius-who has spent years in his bedroom writing manifestos and watching television-to seek employment for the first time in his life. What makes Ignatius more than just a comic figure is the glimpses we get of genuine pain beneath his bombast. His father's death, his failure at graduate school, his inability to connect with others-these wounds are real, even if his response to them is absurd. His medievalism isn't just an affectation; it's a desperate attempt to impose order on a world that has rejected him. Imagine being so out of step with your time that you genuinely believe the world took a wrong turn several centuries ago-wouldn't you also develop elaborate defenses against reality?
