Hardback. Condition: Good. In the late 1940s comic moralist Walker Percy and novelist Shelby Foote, friends since their teenage years, began a correspondence which would last until Percy's death in 1990. The letters trace their lives from their early careers, when they were struggling fiercely and openly with their ambitions, artistic doubts and personal problems. They discuss such serious matters as the death of Foote's mother and Percy's battle with cancer, but their letters are also full of humour, good-natured ribbing and self mockery. This edited collection of letters aims to shed light on the relationship of these two remarkable writers as close friends and confidants, and to reveal the path of their literary careers as they gained in stature.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. When Walker Percy died in 1990, little was known about this intensely private man whose five novels and countless essays had earned him the reputation as one of America's greatest writers. Based on extensive interviews and written with access to Percy's letters and manuscripts, Pilgrim in the Ruins is the first major biography of the writer, an authoritative portrait that brings Percy alive even as it illuminates his distinguished body of work, from The Moviegoer through The Thanatos Syndrome. First published in hardcover in 1992, Jay Tolson's masterful biography is available now for the first time in paperback. With a novelist's eye for character and the judgment of an informed critic, Tolson captures the lifelong drama of genius, always attentive to its artistic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions.…
