Love in the Ruins: The Adventures of a Bad Catholic at a Time Near the End of the World | 
It‘s the birthday of Louisiana writer and philosopher Walker Percy, born on this day in 1916.
“Even now, late as it is, nobody can really believe that it didn‘t work after all. The U.S.A. didn‘t work! Is it even possible that from the beginning it never did work? that the thing always had a flaw in it, a place where it would shear?”
—Love in the Ruins (1971)
