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

[J Rivas-Pita <juliorivas AT gmail.com>]

Dear friends,

I'm a Percy lover living in Caracas, Venezuela, where it is very, very
difficult to find his books.

I was introduced to Percy's work by Brian J. Mahan's "Forgetting
Ourselves on Purpose", a book I warmly recommend to you all.

By the way, I'd like to ask a big, BIG favor of any one of you who
could help me by scanning and e-mailing me some excerpts from "Lost in
the Cosmos" (I can't order it through Amazon.com because since the
strict exchange controls in Venezuela my credit card is no longer
valid abroad :(

The chapters or summaries I`m most interested in are:

The Preliminary Short-Quizz
Chapter 11 -The Depressed Self
Chapter 8 - The Promiscuous Self
Chapter 12 - A Semiotic Primer of the Self

My e-mail:
juliorivas AT gmail.com

Many, MANY thanks in advance to any of you who is willing to take all
that trouble for this marooned-in-Caracas self :)

With all best wishes,

Julio
