From the Publisher
One of the most important American thinkers and novelists of the latter half of the twentieth century, Walker Percy in his six novels and numerous essays gave a Christian existentialist critique of contemporary society. Emphasizing the mystery of free persons, Percy's writings explore and dramatize the mystery of interpersonal relations and the mystery of human person's relationship with God. This book explores Percy's existential and religious vision.
Robert Lauder has fashioned a gift not only to those who already love the writings of Walker Percy, but also to those who have only heard of him and want to be introduced to a wonderful mind. Rev. John F. Kavanaugh, S.J. Saint Louis University
