The Moviegoer (Vintage International)
This one finds you when you're drifting through your own life like a tourist. Binx Bolling sits in his stockbroker's chair, watching the world with the cool detachment of someone who's lost the thread of his own story. Percy understands that peculiar modern loneliness—the kind that strikes in crowds, that makes you feel like you're observing your life from the balcony of a movie theater. The book moves like jazz through New Orleans, unhurried but purposeful. It's for readers who recognize that spiritual hunger doesn't always announce itself with trumpets. Sometimes it whispers through the ordinary Tuesday afternoon when you realize you've been sleepwalking.
