“‘JUST AS I SUSPECTED,’ IGNATIUS SAID ANGRILY. ‘IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WANT TO BECOME TOTALLY BOURGEOIS. YOU PEOPLE HAVE ALL BEEN BRAINWASHED. I IMAGINE THAT YOU’D LIKE TO BECOME A SUCCESS OR SOMETHING EQUALLY VILE.’” – John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces James discovered his passion for residential construction when he bought and rehabilitated his 80-year-old home where he currently lives.
