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

["Rufus McCain" <korrektiv AT gmail.com>]

Jeff,

 

Thanks for reviving the slumbering Percy-L.

 

I wrote a master's thesis on Percy which you can find reproduced at http://www.korrektiv.org/1990/12/needles-eye-walker-percys-conception-of.html.  I haven't really kept up on Percy criticism since then, but I read everything that was available at the time and two books particularly stood out. 

 

1. Critical Essays on Walker Percy (J. Donald Crowley, ed.)

2. The Fiction of Walker Percy (John Hardy)

 

Anything by Lewis Lawson or John Desmond will be quite excellent as well.

 

Happy reading,

Rufus McCain

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....
