Walker Percy’s protagonists move from being wanderers to becoming wayfarers at each novel’s end.  To become one of Percy’s wayfarers, one must seek to see signposts of the transcendent in the ordinary world, which often seems, to a wayfarer, like a strange land.  On the other hand, for Percy’s wanderers, who are comfortably at home in the world, the destination of life is arbitrary; life’s journey is a distraction; the end result is exactly the same spiritual place. The physical world points only to the physical world, and the wanderer does not search beyond it. The wanderer sees no signs, no signposts, to anything transcendent.  The sights the wanderer sees are only visual and sensual, no more. Percy’s wayfarers, however, are searching and have a destination, however unclear that may be in the moment. They hope that as each step along the journey presents itself, the next step will become clear, if not the final destination quite yet. Their belief in the significance of the search reveals transcendent signs to them, sights of the sacred behind mundane, ordinary things, and their following of those signs leads to a sacramental life with meaning.  Walker Percy’s novels are replete with his wayfarers seeking and discovering these hidden “signposts in a strange land.” Underneath the surface chaos of the world, there are signs of a meaning and purpose and order to be found if only one chooses to see, created by the human being and resting in community and connection, becoming the medium through which transcendent Being is experienced.
