This week we read one of the most iconic Southern writers of the Postmodern era: Walker Percy.  His debut novel The Moviegoer became an instant classic-- but does it stand the test of time?  And what do we think about philosophical novels anyway?  

This is the last novel in our Postmodern Novels of the South series. We previously read and discussed A Confederacy of Dunces and Swamplandia! which you can find in our archives.  Want to talk about The Moviegoer?
