Winner of the 1961 National Book Award
The dazzling novel that established Walker Percy as one of the major voices in Southern literature is now available for the first time in Vintage paperback.
The Moviegoer is Binx Bolling, a young New Orleans stockbroker who surveys the world with the detached gaze of a Bourbon Street dandy even as he yearns for a spiritual redemption he cannot bring himself to believe in. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, he occupies himself dallying with his secretaries and going to movies, which provide him with the "treasurable moments" absent from his real life. But one fateful Mardi Gras, Binx embarks on a hare-brained quest that outrages his family, endangers his fragile cousin Kate, and sends him reeling through the chaos of New Orleans' French Quarter. Wry and wrenching, rich in irony and romance, The Moviegoer is a genuine American classic.
Walker Percy (1916–1990) was one of the most prominent American writers of the twentieth century. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, he was the oldest of three brothers in an established Southern family that contained both a Civil War hero and a US senator. Acclaimed for his poetic style and moving depictions of the alienation of modern American culture, Percy was the bestselling author of six fiction titles—including the classic novel The Moviegoer (1961), winner of the National Book Award—and fifteen works of nonfiction. In 2005, Time magazine named The Moviegoer one of the best English-language books published since 1923
難以消解的惆悵。無疾而終的存在朝聖,“a (southern) novel of New Orleans where the protagonist winds up missing Mardi Gras for a stockbrokers' convention in Chicago”, 如青年作者本人驅車拜見福克納 卻在他家門口怯場而不敢會面。沒有天啟 只溶解在平淡的"everydayness".
评分无聊的家庭琐事的那一部分我不是很喜欢,但是还是有一些内容击中我的。。

“什么是昨日重现?那就是要再次重现过去的经历,目的在于分拣出已经流逝的时光,剔除了事件的干扰之后(事件就像是薄脆糖上的花生,把时间凝结在一起),这段流逝的时光就会散发出自己的醇厚芬芳。比如说,上个星期,我就在不经意中体验了一次昨日重现。我在图书馆里随手拿...
评分读Walker Percy的《看电影的人》,很感动。 文字优美深邃,透着对人生的冷澈顿悟和悲凉情怀。如果一个人30岁就看透人生,生活将会没有激情吗?也许,“我把春天抱在怀里,紧紧地抱住它,心里升起一股悲哀”。金钱和美色似乎都不能“打动”他:“美色,单是追求美色,就是对上...
评分可能是最近一直在看美国五六十年代的资料和作品,所以心境很玄很荒谬,状态也是很狂很理想。 因为喜欢那个时代,所以很喜欢这本书。而且觉得自己和主人公很像,他说的,做的我都能理解。 一个人看电影,一个人思考,一个人旁观——离开他人的地狱。如果主人公完全把自己放逐,...
评分从哥伦比亚大学医学院取得研究生学位之后,沃克•珀西时常给天主教杂志《大众福利》写些神学与哲学的小文章。60年代之前,他零星地写过一两个故事,从没有想过要发表。如珀西后来所说,“生活比艺术更奇妙——通常更几何化,我的生命正好一分为二,前一半在美国南部和医学中...
