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.

“This eclectic anthology of chapters on A Confederacy of Dunces, the first of its kind, represents a milestone event in Toole studies, bringing together a diversity of perceptive approaches to the novel. This outstanding collection should appeal to anyone wishing to increase their appreciation and understanding of Toole’s comic masterpiece. “

Peter McCluskey, Middle Tennessee State University

“Theology and Geometry offers an essential examination of an American Classic. As the first collection to explore John Kennedy Toole’s work, it is an original contribution to literary scholarship and further propels A Confederacy of Dunces to its rightful place in the literary canon.”
