Abstract: Appalled by the Post Modern entropy and the gross materialism in which the modern man is steeped in, Walker Percy sets out to diagnose the malaise which he calls ‘everydayness and alienation’ that encircle the modern age. His novels depict the threatening sense of doom that looms large over the world. His vision is fired by an apocalyptic vision and his novels envision a total destruction of the buttresses of the present order and the emergence of a new one out of its ashes. His protagonists, lonely, adrift and marooned in the world always search for the smallest sign that would redeem them from their quandary. His protagonists, startled at watching the end of their own world undertake spiritual quests to weld their broken selves. Their coming to self consciousness through inter subjectivity marks a definite stage in their lives. Through this communion, contemporary individual can join with others in an authentic revival of cultural values based on creative personal development. Abandoning the watchful insularity that once strangled them, Percy’s characters break into a new world of understanding and love. Percy’s apocalyptic vision is mundane for the Kingdom of God in Percy’s fiction is not achieved at the end of history but rather it dawns into history and grows in the lives of believers. Through their will and action they destroy the present world and start all over again in a new world where deeds measure time and ages may begin or end with a single action and where people do whatever they can to help others and the world
