The House of Percy: Honor, Melancholy, and Imagination in a Southern Family Paperback - 1996
by Bertram Wyatt-Brown
Although the novels of Walker Percy represent some of the most prominent work in 20th-century Southern fiction, the Percy family itself has a history that is arguably as compelling as anything he could have created. Behind Percy's prose lurks a legacy of wealth, literary accomplishment, political leadership, depression, and suicide that spans two centuries. In this compelling biography, Wyatt-Brown skilfully combines intensive research and telling insights to produce the unforgettable story of this gifted family. 48 halftones.
First line
The enigma of the Percy family began with Charles, its founder in the American Southwest, born in 1740 in some part of the British Isles, most probably southern Ireland.
