520 |a In 1962, Walker Percy (1916-1990) made a dramatic entrance onto the American literary scene when he won the National Book Award for fiction with his first novel, The Moviegoer. A physician, philosopher, and devout Catholic, Percy dedicated his life to understanding the mixed and somewhat contradictory foundations of American life as a situation faced by the wandering and wondering human soul. His controversial works combined existential questioning, scientific investigation, the insight of the southern stoic, and authentic religious faith to produce a singular view of humanity's place in the cosmos that ranks among the best American political thinking. An authoritative guide to the political thought of this celebrated yet complex American author, this book includes seminal essays by Ralph C. Wood, Richard Reinsch II, and James V. Schall, S.J., as well as analyses of Percy's view of Thomistic realism and his reaction to the American pursuit of happiness.
