title: The Moviegoer
author:  Walker Percy 
description: Winner of the 1961 National Book Award <br />The dazzling novel that established Walker Percy as one of the major voices in Southern<br />literature is now available for the first time in Vintage paperback. <br />"The Moviegoer is Binx Bolling, a young New Orleans stockbroker who surveys the world with<br />the detached gaze of a Bourbon Street dandy even as he yearns for a spiritual redemption he<br />cannot bring himself to believe in. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, he occupies<br />himself dallying with his secretaries and going to movies, which provide him with the<br />"treasurable moments" absent from his real life. But one fateful Mardi Gras, Binx embarks<br />on a hare-brained quest that outrages his family, endangers his fragile cousin Kate, and<br />sends him reeling through the chaos of New Orleans' French Quarter. Wry and wrenching, rich<br />in irony and romance, The Moviegoer is a genuine American classic.
