- Synopsis
- From the National Book Award–winning author of The Moviegoer: &“These essays . . . have a way of quickening the spirit and cleansing the sight&” (The New Republic). Before winning the National Book Award for fiction in 1962, Walker Percy was an established scholar of science, philosophy, and language. Presented here are his strongest essays in those subjects, offering what he called a &“theory of man for a new age.&” Ambitious yet readable, The Message in the Bottle encapsulates the philosophical foundations of his groundbreaking novels, perfect for Percy fans and new readers alike. From discussions on the dislocation of man in the twentieth century to theories on why humans talk while other animals do not, thisis an enlightening collection from one of the South&’s most celebrated writers.
