THESIS 10406 This thesis analyses how the American novelist Walker Percy (1916-1990) anatomizes belief in his six novels and one work of non-fiction satire, Lost in the Cosmos (1983). In critical studies of Percy?s fiction, no study has thoroughly addressed the issue of belief within Percy?s work, specifically the way that Percy constructs meaningful and non-meaningful belief in his novels, whether religious in the traditional sense- belief for the orthodox Christian- or a looser sense- belief for an atheist or Stoic.
