Jim,

I can't answer your question, but Art also reminds me of the "devil" Ivan converses with in the Brothers Karamazov.

I, too, am enjoying the discussion.

Quoting Jim Forest <jhforest AT gmail.com>:

Probably many others on the WP List are following the comments on LITR as
attentively as I am but, like me, just listening in with immense gratitude
to those who are speaking up. What a joy it is rereading LITR in good
company.



One minor comment. WP?s portrait of the devil (Art Immelman) is strikingly
similar to Mikhail Bulkagov?s portrait of the devil (Pofessor Woland) in
The Master & Margarita. Had Percy read Bulgakov?s novel? My guess is yes.
