Rizwana,  I've found John Barth's first two novels (The Floating Opera and The End of the Road) to have a great many similarities to Percy's novels.  An essay that links them negatively, which I haven't actually had a chance to read, is:

Bradbury, John M. "Absurd Insurrection: The Barth-Percy Affair." South Atlantic Quarterly 68 (Summer 1969): 319-29
