  <about><![CDATA[Walker Percy was an American Southern author whose interests included philosophy and semiotics. Percy is best known for his philosophical novels, the first of which, &lt;i&gt;The Moviegoer&lt;/i&gt;, won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1962. He devoted his literary life to the exploration of &quot;the dislocation of man in the modern age,&quot; and his work exhibited a unique combination of existentialism, Southern sensibility and deep Catholic faith.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Birmingham, Alabama</hometown>  <born_at>05/28/1916</born_at>  <died_at>05/10/1990</died_at>
