In Walker Percy: Books of Revelations, Gary M. Ciuba examines how Percy & rsquo;s apocalyptic vision inspires the structure, themes, and strategies of his fiction. This book explores the unity of the southern novelist & rsquo;s fiction by focusing on its religious and artistic design & mdash;one of the first studies to approach Percy & rsquo;s work from this perspective.Ciuba considers Percy & rsquo;s six published novels & mdash;The Moviegoer, The Last Gentleman, Love in the Ruins, Lancelot, The Second Coming, and The Thanatos Syndrome & mdash;and also offers the first extended critical analysis of his unpublished work & ldquo;The Gramercy Winner. & rdquo; Although the novels are often seen as increasingly satiric jeremiads about the possible doom of America, Ciuba argues that Percy & rsquo;s fiction is principally shaped by a demythologized and partially realized form of eschatology. This apocalyptic vision has less to do with the end of the external world than with the demise of the protagonists & rsquo; internal worldviews. According to Ciuba, Percy does more than offer direly comic warnings about the end of the world; he shows how the world actually ends and then may begin again in the everyday lives and extraordinary loves of his astonished seers. used books,books Books, Univ of Georgia Pr<
