IMHO the greatest post-war writer in English and no slouch at philosophy either, each uniquely fused together. Without any doubt I’d put him up there with Kafka, Mann and Musil. The best (most elegant and most informed) biography of Percy is by the very excellent Patrick Samway, S. J. Samway also by the way was the most meticulous of editors for Percy’s Signposts in a Strange Land: Essays.
