From the supplier: Josephine Humphreys has adopted many of the same narrative techniques used by Walker Percy, but subverts them to present more female-centered examinations of life. Walker's use of self-analytic protagonists who attempt to process their experiences as observers of the life around them in order to experience personal growth is always centered around a male point of view. Humphreys, most notably in 'Dreams of Sleep,' subverts Percy's conclusions by privileging the female point of view.
