| Summary |
Walker Percy, the reclusive southern author famous for his 1961 novel "The Moviegoer", lived most of his adult life in Covington, Louisiana. This biography of Percy takes its shape from interviews with his family, close friends, and acquaintances. Their voices reveal the ways Percy interacted with the people in his deliberately chosen environment. |
