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

["Mark Maier" <me AT lastgentleman.com>]

I recently came across Truth: Four Stories I Am Finally Old Enough to
Tell by Ellen Douglas which has a blurb from Percy (as well as from
Shelby Foote and Richard Ford).  I don't believe this book was published
in Percy's lifetime, but at any rate ....

Mark

Reminds me of the way I came across Lost in the Cosmos, sometime around
1990.  I was already a fan of Percy, but unaware of this book.  One day
I was browsing a book store and wandered into the self-help section ...
and there it was.  Another moment of unintended humor (or maybe Percy
did intend such a moment).

        Many years ago....in the  late 80s or the 90s I was in a
doctor's waiting room, reading assorted magazines and there was a
magazine...called American Public Health or Health or something...I
can't remember the title and it had a review of Lost in the Cosmos.  The
reviewer as I recall hadn't read the book apparently because he reviewed
it seriously as a self help book.  It was truly a great moment of
unintended humor.
         
        Does anyone on the list know anything of this review?  
         
        Thank you.

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exchange controls in Venezuela my credit card is no longer valid abroad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

Another book that Walker was wonderfully fond of but probably never
blurbed 
as it came out before he became famous himself is Canticle for Leibowicz
by 
Walter Miller, Jr.
