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

[<Robert_Pauley AT oxy.com>]

I would say it was a category of modern life or lifestyle on which Percy
did not expend too much consciousness. But I'm sure somewhere in his
writings he made a gamey crack or two about homosexuals, or offered up
what might be seen as an "insensitive portrayal". It doesn't take much
these days to be qualified as a "phobe" of one sort or another in some
people's minds.  

Cheers, R. Pauley

Subject: [percy-l] Are there any WP events or news?


Dear Friends,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any books or events planned this year

that are Percy-related.

Also, a retired professor friend of mine recently told me that he did
not 
care for Walker Percy because he was a 'homophobe'.  In the many bios, 
interviews and stories I have heard and read about WP's life -I have
never 
heard or read anything about his position on homosexuals.  Is he
mistaken?

Will Parish
