From the Inside Flap:
"Eloquent, reckless, accurate, hilarious...plunges forward through tawdry bedroom mysteries toward a final grand puzzle." -Washington Post Book World
"A fine novel...Percy is a seductive writer attentive to sensuous detail, and such a skillful architect of fiction that the very discursiveness of his story informs it with energy and tension." -Newsweek
"A funny and scarifying jeremiad on the modern age. Lancelot is easy to read and hard to forget." -Time
