He did live in Greenville-and yeah he lived all over the south. His best book, in my opinion, The Moviegoer, was set in NO.
But he spent many years in MS, had family there, and is widely regarded as being from the state.
MS is a very rich literary treasure, especially Oxford.
Lots of badass musicians too.

If I recall correctly, Percy is originally from Birmingham. Moved to Greenville, MS after a family tragedy and was raised by William Alexander Percy, an outstanding author in his own right.
Though much of his work is set in LA, and Percy lived in Covington during his later years, his chief influences were W.A. Percy and his boyhood friend Shelby Foote, both Mississippians.
