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

[Justin Bonanno <bonannju AT gmail.com>]

Sounds like a cool project. 

Apparently, Hemingway's father committed suicide, like Percy's. As you probably know, Hemingway took his own life, but Walker didn't. Comparing their approach to death/suicide and how this manifests itself in their novels might be an interesting entrance into the comparison. 

For the record, I've never seen someone compare Percy with Hemingway yet.

I am exploring the possibility of writing a comparative analysis of four works by Percy and four works by Hemingway. The only thing I have seen is an article by William Rodney Allen, "All the Names of Death," and his book, A Southern Wayfarer. He states that Percy thought Hemingway was more of a stoic than a Christian. I am interested in any help on researching this topic.
