Welcome, Jeff! I'm sure you'll receive some fine recommendations here. I can only recommend Linda Whitney Hobson's short primer "Understanding Walker Percy" published by University of South Carolina Press.

But I'm really writing to recommend two other volumes -- neither of them literary criticism, but sure to be of interest to you -- published by University of Mississippi Press: "Conversations with Walker Percy" and "More Conversations with Walker Percy." Both contain numerous interviews with the man himself about his work and its themes.

Hi All - New to this list but a long-time fan of Percy. While I have read his novels and essays, I haven't really read any literary criticism on his work. Which books (or articles/essays even) should I start with? Many thanks....
