| The list serve from time to time has alluded to the friendship and mutual admiration of Walker Percy and Flannery O’Connor( Paul Elie has written a very interesting book, The Life You Save May Be Your Own, on the interrelationship of four Catholic writers— Percy and O'Connor plus Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton). Readers may be interested in the attached film column I wrote for the Independent/ Dan’s Media (on the East End of Long Island) on O'Connor’s Wise Blood and the John Huston film made from it. Rereading the book and watching Brad Dourif as the obsessed but questioning Hazel Motes, I can’t help but think of Binx Bolling’s less radical, yet oddly parallel, search for meaning.
