List,

Just been reading _Survivor_ by Palahniuk.

Many echos of Percy.

Wonder if he ever read Percy?

Such lines as "It's weird how the name outlives the person, the signifier
outlasts the signified, the symbol the symbolized." (p.88 _Survivor_) speak
to a common source.

Any one know if Palahniuk ever spoke of Percy?
