Why Paradise?
Paradise comes from Percy’s fictional and symbolic use of the idea of “paradise” as something people are always searching for—comfort, belonging, or happiness—often in ordinary places.
Paradise pays tribute to Walker Percy’s literary legacy and his connection to Louisiana, while celebrating Southern place, story, and atmosphere.
“The whiskey was good and the talk better. Sometimes that’s all the world amounts to: a drink, a word, and the hope that tomorrow will come.”
