I agree. I can't believe there are no lively discussions about Dr P left. I would love to write on him; are any schools allowing folk to write on his work? I see some interesting work to be done comparing his work to Pynchon or John Fowles or even Ian McEwan's latest, _Saturday_.

wow,

this list serv, once vibrant, has really died. i know people still read and teach Percy, but im wondering if the research on him has hit a dead end. is anyone out there doing any books, or articles on him nowadays? i know my own dissertation on Percy, Peirce, semiotics, and the self, hit a real dead end. ive always thought that we could use a new, updated, Lost in the Cosmos. I wonder if anyone else out there thinks that, or is trying to do that? just some random thoughts...
