Love in the Ruins The Adventures of a Bad Catholic at a Time Near the End of the World

"What Percy has done by way of a plan, through not programmatically, is to give our culture all of its potential fragmentation: then play a game of inversions with his revolution. A spelling out of the innumerable motifs thus created lies outside of Percy's willingness as a writer of charm. Most interesting is his patient delineating of his comedy of love against a field of anarchy...Percy's fascination with Catholic ontology so visible in The Last Gentleman is here given full throttle; But the attempt to fictionalize this motif doesn't quite come alive...is only because Percy focuses our attention at a very high level that large reservations about this novel can be expressed...Percy is easily one of the finest writers we have."Percy, Walker is the author of 'Love in the Ruins The Adventures of a Bad Catholic at a Time Near the End of the World', published 1999 under ISBN 9780312243111 and ISBN 0312243111.
