Walker Percy: A Life

When he won the National Book Award in 1962 for his first novel, The Moviegoer, Catholic author Walker Percy quickly established a wide and devoted following. His five subsequent novels and three non-fiction books proved him to be one of the century's most careful surveyors of modern society. This biography, the only one to be written with Percy's approval and assistance, is a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year and a main selection of the Catholic Book Club.
