| Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, John Kennedy Toole committed suicide in 1969 when he could not find a publisher for his novel A Confederacy of Dunces. A comic portrayal of people struggling to adapt to modern life in New Orleans, Louisiana, the novel was published posthumously in 1980, due to the persistent efforts of his mother, Thelma. | ||||||
