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

["Dye, Steve" <sldye AT bluegrass.org>]

I had the opportunity a few years ago to visit Covington looking for Percy’s gravesite. I stopped in at the local library and just asked if anyone knew where it was. I was pleasantly surprised at how gracious and helpful they were, immediately giving me great directions to the Abbey “down the road”.  The folks in Covington do fondly remember and honor Percy. I also look forward to this book.

I really enjoyed it, especially the interviews of those who lived in the Covington area.  It almost ends up being a social history of the community and how WP fit into it, which is what is novel in the book, as compared to other books I've read about WP.

I just checked out Walker Percy Remembered, a collection of remembrances of WP by people still living who knew him fairly well.  Nikki Barringer is included.  Any suggestions of what to expect?
