A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole
Toole killed himself and his mother had pestered Walker Percy with his manuscript until he finally read it. He loved it and helped get it published. It won the Pulitzer Prize.
"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."
