Title: Walker Percy's Distraction
Review: I read Sterling's" Distraction" and though it was very clever until I read Walker Percy's "Love in the Ruins" published in 1971. I was shocked at the extensive borrowing from Percy that Sterling did to write" Distraction". The structure, plot, scenes, and the setting at the end of the world is just too similar to be coincidental. I recommend "Love in the Ruins". Percy is our american genius.
