One of my favorite quotes is from Walker Percy's The Moviegoer, describing Southern girls:
She is one of those village beauties of which the South is so prodigal. From the sleaziest house in the sleaziest town, from the loins of redneck pa and rockface ma spring these lovelies, these rosy-cheeked Anglo-Saxon lovelies, by the million.

I read The Moviegoer and Love in Ruins, but it's been a couple of decades.
May be time for a reread.

I've only read The Movie Goer a long time ago and loved it although not much happens.

Try “The Second Coming.”

The Moviegoer, but that was a long time ago.
I have a degree from Loyola as well as LSU.
Walker Percy was an esteemed professor at Loyola when I was a student there. I did not take his class because he taught advanced literature and writing courses and I was very far removed from that.
The big news back then was that he was the one who discovered A Confederacy of Dunces after John Kennedy Toole’s death and had it published. It won the Pulitzer Prize.

I downloaded the Second Coming for my trip to BTR, it's better than I remember it but not as good as The Moviegoer and Love in the Ruins.
I've never read his essays either.
