"A modern knight-errant on a quest after evil . . . Convincing and chilling." The New York Times Book Review
Lancelot Andrewes Lamar, a disenchanted liberal lawyer, finds himself confined in a "nuthouse" with memories that don't seem worth remembering until a visit from an old friend and classmate gives him the opportunity to recount his journey of dark violence. It began the day he accidentally discovered he was not the father of his youngest daughter. That discovery touched off his obsession to reverse the degeneration of modern America and begin a new age of chivalry and romance. With ever-increasing fury, Lancelot would become a shining knight -- not of romance, but of revenge . . .

From the Publisher:
"A modern knight-errant on a quest after evil.... Convincing and chilling." -The New York Times Book Review
About the Author:
"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
Walker Percy is the author of over ten books, many of which were bestsellers, and he is considered one of the greatest American writers of our time.
