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

[Charles Lowry <lowry.charles AT gmail.com>]

Nice of you to join, Will.  Your paragraph was a salutary reminder that Percy himself was a scientist before he was a writer.  It will be good to have another math and science contributor.  An old, broken down literature guy like me needs reining in from time to time!

Don’t be put off by long periods of inactivity on the list.  Just assume that we are all reading Percy over and over again.  After all, as St. Thomas Aquinas tells us, Repetitio est mater studiorum.

Hi Folks,

I recently joined the Percy-L list, and Henry (Mills) suggested that I introduce myself to everyone. I'm originally from the South Carolina Lowcountry but have lived in Madison, Wisconsin for the better part of 20 years now -- first as student, then as researcher at the University (where I study and develop numerical models of hurricanes). I also write fiction and was drawn to Percy's work from my first encounter with it decades ago. 

Thanks for having me as part of this group, and I look forward to talking with (and learning from) you all.

Will
