Synopsis
John Kennedy Toole wrote The Neon Bible for a literary contest at the age of sixteen, but it was not published until 1989, thirty-five years after it was written and twenty years after Toole's suicide. The Neon Bible tells the story of David, who is a young boy growing up in a small Southern town in the 1940s.
