Summary:
"Lancelot" by Walker Percy unfolds in a psychiatric hospital where Lancelot Lamar, a disenchanted lawyer, recounts his tale of moral decline and quest for truth to his friend, a psychiatrist. After discovering his wife's infidelity, Lancelot's world crumbles, leading him on a dark journey to purge his life of the lies that surround him. Set against the backdrop of a decaying South post-Hurricane, Percy's novel delves into themes of obsession, madness, and the quest for authenticity in a superficial world. Through Lancelot's story, Percy explores the deep questions of existence, morality, and the search for meaning in a modern age. Lancelot's quest ends in a controversial climax that challenges the boundaries of justice and revenge, leaving readers to ponder the price of truth in a world built on deception.
