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

[RHONDA MCDONNELL <rhonda_mcdonnell AT msn.com>]

Thanks Karey. Looks like just about all of WP's fiction got mentioned (I didn't see Thanatos or LITR but I was skimming--I guess that's 2/3 then).  It's hard to argue with #1 and #2 except I'd flip their order.  All the King's Men is the confluence of all American Literature, with all the past flowing in and everything after carrying a piece of it. But that's just me getting a little purple about it. It just doesn't get better than that, I say. Unfortunately, my survey must have gotten lost in the mail.

Percy is #6 on this list with “The Moviegoer,” but if you click on the link at the bottom of the list, you’ll find others by him as well, further down.
