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

[Jim Forest <jhforest AT gmail.com>]

Marcus, I did my best trying to find the text of "A Detective Story", but so far all I have find are brick walls and blind alleys.

If you (or anyone on the list) has the text of the WP story, would you post it? Or if you have a URL that doesn't require a password, post that.

I’m wondering if anyone else on this list has read
Percy’s recently published “A Detective Story” and
wondered if Percy is writing his own the male life-crisis
fugue version of Dashiell Hammett’s “Flitcraft
Parable”?

You can link to the Percy story here:

If you Google Flitcraft you’ll find the text and lots of
comments.  There’s a pretty good discussion here by Alan
Gratz:
