The Message in the Bottle: How Queer Man Is, How Queer Language Is, and What One Has to Do with the Other

In Message in the Bottle, Walker Percy offers insights on such varied yet interconnected subjects as symbolic reasoning, the origins of mankind, Helen Keller, Semioticism, and the incredible Delta Factor. Confronting difficult philosophical questions with a novelist's eye, Percy rewards us again and again with his keen insights into the way that language possesses all of us.

Walker Percy is the author of over ten books, many of which were bestsellers, and he is considered one of the greatest American writers of our time.
