Der Idiot des Südens = The Last Gentleman

Percy's characters often grapple with finding their place in a changing society. I'm curious what personal or cultural influences shaped this introspective story.

The subtle shifts in his mood and perspective made me wonder if those were intentional cues to his deeper struggles with belonging.

The detailed descriptions made the world feel so real, yet there's this palpable sense of detachment. I'd love to know what led to that balance.
