A review by mosesp
The Movie-goer by Walker Percy

4.0

Lovely character study and sketch of a time and place. A very small book in the best way: focused, unified in vision and tone. Not remarkable in today's world, but I think at the time of publication it might have provided a few shocking moments in its frank presentation of certain topics. Some similarities in theme to Updike, but I much prefer this book for depicting self-absorbtion without being self-absorbed.
