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

[Wade Riddick <wriddick AT usa.net>]

> I read and reread the book. I led a discussion of it in my book group. My reading was absolutely different from theirs. This stunned me. I found the book funny, endearing and uplifting. They found it depressing and hopeless.

They might.  It's a Dear John letter to secular salvation.

You might find _Lost in the Cosmos_ more clarifying or Kierkegaard's discussions on rotation and repetition.  If everybody's searching, some are chasing their tails (tales?).

> > 1.	Is the book an existential book, contrary to what I thought?

It's been called a kind of Christian existentialism.

> > 4.	Is the book meant to be funny and endearing or depressing?

Why pick?

I guess it depends on where you place your faith.
