The Moviegoer
Walker Percy
A young New Orleans stockbroker yearns for spiritual redemption amidst the chaos of his daily life. Binx Bolling surveys the world with a detached gaze of a Bourbon Street dandy, but after a life-changing event during Mardi Gras, he goes on a quest that endangers his family and leaves him reeling through the French Quarter. Wry, wrenching, ironic, and romantic, this novel is considered a genuine American classic.

Today’s book cover is falling apart which shows how many times I’ve read it. “The Moviegoer” by Walker Percy. It’s just one of my faves. Binx Bolling and his search. Gets me every time. – source
