Lost in the Cosmos
Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book | Walker Percy
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
A mock self-help book designed not to help but to provoke; a chapbook to inveigle us into thinking about who we are and how we got into this mess. Los Angeles Times Book ReviewPublished at the height of the 1980s self-help boom, Lost in the Cosmos is Percys unforgettable riff on the trend that swept the nation. Filled with quizzes, essays, short stories, and diagrams, Lost in the Cosmos is a laugh-out-loud spin on a familiar genre that also pushes readers to serious contemplation of lifes biggest questions. One part parody and two parts philosophy, Lost in the Cosmos is an enlightening guide to the dilemmas of human existence, and an unrivaled spin on self-help manuals by one of modern Americas greatest literary masters.

I don't know how I missed this one in the 1980s but it sounds like it's right up my alley. #TBR
