Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[Robert_Pauley AT oxy.com]

Movie came out a few years ago, thriller with Michael Douglas about a smug,
heartless billionaire whose life is changed by his brother's birthday gift
of a play-acting game that turns real and apparently deadly. I can see
someone citing Percy about this, as story relates to his themes of rotation,
of unlooked-for thrill when "everydayness" is shattered. Premise of film is
better than film.
