Rhonda, Nikki, Marcus,

Thanks for your replies. There doesn't seem to be a connection from what I've been able to track either (though, I'd bet WP would have been fascinated with him).

I actually just stumbled across Lonergan myself and it's not like Percy had a populated Internet to graze on.. :-)

Best,
Mike

I'm curious if anyone has comment on recent flap regarding
Bob Coles quoting (misquoting?) Percy on Bruce
Springsteen. Coles claims Percy was a gushing fan of
Springsteen's, as Coles is, and his quotes are taken from
memory. So he can't back them up. But quotes are being
challenged by New Republic magazine and by Percy's nephew,
who says they don't sound a thing like Walker. I agree.
Quotes sound phony.

Dear Rhonda,

I don't ever recall Walker mentioning someone named
Lonergan in the book meetings. He would from time to time
drop a word ot two about other reading he was up to if he
found it interesting, but this sparks no blip of
recognition on my screen. Marcus Smith might perhaps be a
better informant?
