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

[Henry Mills <wppdirector AT gmail.com>]

Dear Percy-L:

This weekend, June 5-7, in St. Francisville, LA, marks the occasion of the second annual "Walker Percy Weekend: A Literary Festival Celebrating the Acclaimed Novelist's Life and Work." For general reading, the festival's website is available at
http://www.walkerpercyweekend.org . A fine Percy portrait and quote adorn the homepage.

For those most directly adventurous, you may enjoy putting on your best Bayou waders and jumping right into descriptions of the festival's activities, panels, and other sundry Southern "Goings On" by visiting its full schedule at:
http://www.walkerpercyweekend.org/full-schedule/
Bourbon or mint jullep flask recommended.

Any and all Percy-L members attending the festival are invited to share a personal follow-up report with our listserv community.

Also of note is a recent short remembrance of Percy noting the festival in a web posting by former Louisiana Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner, Jim Brown:
