About This Item
Knopf, 1987. Hardcover. Good Plus. Nice neat copy in a lovely but irrevocably wrapped jacket. Perhaps the librarian shrinkwrapped, maybe it came so from the pupbisher. It is bright and unworn. Unclipped, shelf stickered. Sticker residue on FFEP. Discard stamps back endpaper,top edge and verso of title.
Synopsis
The Moviegoer was published in 1961 by Walker Percy. This novel tells the story of Binx Bolling, a young businessman in New Orleans after the Korean war who feels alienated from his own life. His life is full of daydreams, and he tends to find more meaning in movies and books than in his own routine life.
