Lancelot Lamar is a disenchanted lawyer who finds himself confined in a mental asylum with memories that don't seem worth recalling. It all began the day he accidentally discovered he was not the father of his youngest daughter, a discovery which sent Lancelot on a modern-day quest to reverse the degeneration of America. Percy's novel reveals a shining knight for our own life and times—a knight not of romance, but of revenge.

Praise for Lancelot
"A funny and scarifying jeremiad . . . Easy to read and hard to forget."—Time
"Eloquent, reckless, hilarious . . . Plunges forward through tawdry bedroom mysteries toward a final grand puzzle."—The Washington Post Book World
