Postmodern Novels of the South Discussion: The Moviegoer by Walker Percy

Author and publisher Jon Sealy joins us this week as we dive deep into a discussion of The Moviegoer.  We talk about the influence of Kierkegaard on the novel, the writer as a diagnostician of modern life, and why this book is categorized as a postmodern southern novel.
