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

[janet cantor <janetcantor37 AT yahoo.com>]

In this excerpt Buckley never gets to Percy and he gets the date of the NBA wrong and the Title of Love in the Ruins wrong. Darn I wish I could see the whole thing.
There is a long Lamb and Foote thing, three hours. I may visit with it because Foote talks about his long friendship with Percy.

Janet:

I don't see any interviews that Brian Lamb did with Percy in C-Span's video library.  I did like Lamb's Booknotes interviews, though I think he mainly interviewed nonfiction authors.  He had certain questions that he loved to ask and probably would have asked Percy:  Do you write in pen or pencil? What kind of pen (or pencil?). Do you prefer lined notebook paper or a blank page? Do you write at a desk, or somewhere else? At a certain time of day? How do you know when you're done writing for the day?  He seemed fascinated not so much by the writing process as the process of writing (the routine).

I found a short video of Percy as a guest, along with Eudora Welty, on William Buckley's Firing Line show in 1972. The entire hour-long show is available for purchase from Amazon. It looks like Percy's appearance on this clip is fairly brief.

Thank you so much for this. As always with Percy, you have to wait until the last minute for a sweet surprise ending.
Does anyone know if Brian Lamb ever interviewed Percy on C-Span?
