Last night/this morning, about 2 a.m., I popped awake
realizing that THE MOVIEGOER isn't the novel I meant to name.
Instead, I meant to say LANCELOT. Here's how Amazon.com
describes it:
<< Lancelot Andrewes Lamar, a disenchanted liberal
lawyer, finds himself confined in a mental asylum with
memories that don't seem worth remembering, until a visit
from an old friend and classmate gives him the opportunity to
recount his journey of dark violence. It began the day he
accidentally discovered he was not the father of his youngest
daughter. That discovery touched off his obsession to reverse
the degeneration of modern America and begin a new age of
chivalry and romance. With ever-increasing fury, Lancelot
became a shining knight -- not of romance, but of
revenge.
