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

[Henry Mills <wppdirector AT gmail.com>]

Dear Percy-L:

The following link leads to a fine short essay by Edward Dupuy published this past week in Commonweal to which I would like to call to your attention:

    https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/last-word-4-pm-blues

Dupuy is a scholar (and gentleman) who served as dean of St. Joseph Abbey and Seminary College in Covington, La., where Percy is buried, and also organized the previous Walker Percy Symposium along with St. Tammany Parish Library for many years. He is the author of Autobiography in Walker Percy: Repetition, Recovery, and Redemption (LSU Press, 1996) (https://books.google.com/books/about/Autobiography_in_Walker_Percy.html?id=Jt9oQgAACAAJ)

Today, Dupuy serves as founding dean at the Southwest School of Art in San Antonio (https://www.swschool.org/).  He studied for his PhD at LSU under John R. May, former Walker Percy Project board member.  

Dupuy is to be recognized and thanked for his many contributions to academic and public understanding of Percy and his works. In this case his short essay features a photograph of Percy formidably sitting at his desk in his study.

Best wishes,

Henry Mills
