“This is Percy's first published novel, for which he won the National Book Award. I think it is his most subtle and poetic novel, one of moods, characters, and scenic sketches. All of his major themes are found here in seed form. Read it first and read it last. This is one of my two favorite books of all time, the other being The Brothers Karamazov. Walker Percy is also on of the three authors in my holy triumvirate.”
