Wrapped Up In Books

My musings on what I've read since January 2006.

The Moviegoer - Walker Percy

The title deceived me a bit, because this features very little stuff about movies. Instead, it’s a Faulkneresque tale of emotional repression and family dysfunction in Louisiana. I thought that the demands made on the reader weren’t really rewarded with any pay-off. Then again, it’s regarded as an American classic, so perhaps I’m missing something.
