I’m very curious as to which works will be compared. Can we have more details? It sounds like a very interesting project based on the brief description.

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.
