Dear Percy-L:

Percy-L followers may enjoy the below New York Times article providing a rich magazine-length narrative journey through literary New Orleans and surrounding areas, including Covington, Percy's hometown. Included are representative sections on Percy, Tennessee Williams, Toole, Faulkner, Chopin and other authors associated with the area.

The article features several vibrant photographs, including one of Percy, that convey both the mystique and local color of the area, as well as mentions landmarks that may be of interest during a visit.

For your interest, listed below are the annual literary festivals held in New Orleans.  More details about the 2015 Walker Percy Conference at Loyola Univ, New Orleans, will be forthcoming through Percy-L in the near future.

Hope you might enjoy this fine article.

Best,
Henry Mills
Percy-L Manager
