I have recently read the first novel by Walker Percy, The Moviegoer. This novel was published in 1961 (when it won the National Book Award), it is almost possible to predict the type of existential crisis spread in the beginning of the century. The crisis of existence is related to the meaning found in places and times, and in our time it is the driving force of "keeping it strange" and the rising of our love for that place.

Walker · Percy 's novel "The Moviegoer" won the 1962 National Award. In the same year, Joseph Heller's "Catch - 22" and JD Salinger 's "Franny and Zooey" were nominated.

To be honest, this award, along with Booker and Pulitzer, is just a sky award for scholars and arrogant rich. But this is a totally different fish
