The first novel by the Pulizer Prize-winning author of A Confederacy Of Dunces.
David is a young boy growing up in a small Southern town in the 1940s.
From his porch, David can see the whole valley, including the neon Bible that lights up the sky, emblem of the God-fearing folk who snub his family because Poppa cant afford the church dues.
John Kennedy Toole--who won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for his best-selling comic masterpiece A Confederacy of Dunces --wrote The Neon Bible for a literary contest at the age of sixteen.
The manuscript languished in a drawer and became the subject of a legal battle among Tooles heirs.
It was only in 1989, thirty-five years after it was written and twenty years after Tooles suicide at thirty-one, that this amazingly accomplished and evocative novel was freed for publication.
