Just read this recently. I can't remember the last time I read a character study that was this hilarious. Having a close friend who resembles Ignatius certainly made it funnier, not to mention certain traits that paralleled my own personality. Anyone else found this as relatable?

No, absolutely not. In fact I found it quite insulting to both my intellect and my soul. As a sufferer of the serious medical condition of GERD, and being of rather rotund accoutrement myself, I have to say that the grotesque insensitivity of this work is far and away the most vile act of "literature" I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Considering that anyone would put forth such effort to mock the plight of a genius mind mired in the mediocrity of simpletons, but also to play this most sympathetic individual's physical ailments for laughs, I can only say that the author's suicide was not unfortunate. Shame on you for perpetuating the ill fame of this literary travesty.

I read an essay that explained possible astrological themes expressed through Ignatius. He believes he embodies the noble Saturnian qualities while acting as though under the perverse influences of Saturn. Medieval Saturn is associated with dogs.

I wish I had saved the article. It presented a lot of info on Toole's research into medieval astrology.
