A confederacy of dances by John Kennedy Toole. A green hunting cap, squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head, the green ear flaps 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, pierced lips protruded beneath the bushy black mustache and out their corner sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs in the shadow under the green visor of the cap. Ignatius J. Riley's super si blue and yellow eyes looked down upon the other people waiting under the clock at the DH Holmes department store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste and dress. Several of the outfits Ignatius noticed were new enough and expensive enough to be properly considered off fences against taste and decency. Possession of anything new or expensive only reflected a person's lack of theology and geometry. It could even cast doubts upon one's soul.
