The house of Percy : honor, melancholy, and imagination in a Southern family

Wyatt-Brown, Bertram 1932-2012 (Author).

Summary: The novels of Walker Percy - The Moviegoer, Lancelot, The Second Coming, and The Thanatos Syndrome to name a few - have left a permanent mark on twentieth-century Southern fiction; yet the history of the Percy family in America matches anything, perhaps, that he could have created.
