Consider A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Recommended by 9 sources.
“A Confederacy of Dunces is a sprawling, high-energy comic novel that sustains broad humor through repeated set-pieces and a distinctive narrative voice. Its useful part is continuous, extravagant comic payoff: jokes and absurd situations arrive often enough to keep momentum for readers who savor loud, eccentric comedy. Its main limitation is tonal relentlessness — the voice and gags rarely soften, which can feel repetitive or wearing for readers who prefer subtlety or tighter plotting. No exercises.”
