Is anyone knowledgeable about Percy's familiarity with Jung? I am aware that he was a casual (social?) member of a Jung discussion group during his later years in Covington. Also, that his artist friend (forget her name now) with whom he had an office next to, was a Jungian devotee. He has some comments in his writings/interviews, but doesn't seem to embrace Jung wholeheartedly. I am particularly interested in what he might have thought of Jung's concept of "synchronicity."

Interested in any comments or thoughts on the matter -
