Walker Percy, Obl.S.B. (May 28, 1916 – May 10, 1990) was a Southern author from Covington, Louisiana, whose interests included philosophy and semiotics. Percy is known for his philosophical novels set in and around New Orleans, Louisiana, the first of which, The Moviegoer, won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. He devoted his literary life to the exploration of "the dislocation of man in the modern age." His work displays a combination of existential questioning, Southern sensibility, and deep Catholic faith. | Date Of Birth | May 28, 1916 |

| 1 | In 1976, seven years after the death of John Kennedy Toole, his mother gave a tattered carbon-copy of the manuscript of "Confederacy of Dunces" to Percy. It had been rejected by eight publishers, but he agreed to take a look at it. With his help, the quintessential New Orleans novel, with a foreword by Percy, was published in 1980. It won the Pulitzer Prize the following year. |
