The Neon Bible is John Kennedy Toole's first novel, written at the age of 16. The novel is a bildungsroman about a callow youth named David in rural Mississippi during the late 1930s to early 1950s. He learns of religious, racial, social, and sexual bigotry in the narrator's ten strongest memories, one memory per chapter. The memories begin with David on a train, escaping the past, hoping for freedom. The book is told entirely from the first person.

  • La Biblia de neón es la primera novela de John Kennedy Toole, escrita a la edad de 16 años. Su principal atractivo es la primera mirada al escritor que más tarde escribiría La conjura de los necios. (es)
  • La Bible de néon (titre original : The Neon Bible) est un roman écrit par John Kennedy Toole lorsqu'il avait seize ans. Non publié à l'époque car considéré trop immature, il sera publié en 1989 après le succès de La Conjuration des imbéciles, vingt ans après le suicide de son auteur. En 1995, le réalisateur Terence Davies adapte The Neon Bible au cinéma. (fr)
