Book Synopsis: THE JOURNEY HOME
Broadly comic, lampooning everything from psychiatrists to social causes, Walker Percy's second novel follows the adventures of Princeton drop-out/exiled Southern, Williston Bibb Barrett, on a whimsical, deeply moving journey through America. A romantic who falls madly in love with a woman he first views through a telescope, Will is the "last gentleman" -- an unforgettable fiction creation... a modern hero on a quest for home, identity, and the meaning of contemporary life.
