Title : Love Among the Ruins - Walker Percy - book
Summary :
Walker Percy described Love Among the Ruins as the adventures of a bad Catholic in times approaching the end of the world. It is the end of the automobile age. Grass eats away at cracked pavements, crumbling motels return to their original swampland, wolves haunt downtown Cleveland, ivy invades Manhattan's skyscrapers. Paranoia, rage, and digestive disorders ravage conservative circles, while liberals suffer from anxiety, virile impotence, and personality disorders. What interested me, Percy specified, was to see what would become of a free country where Orwell and Huxley had won.
