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

[RHONDA MCDONNELL <rhonda_mcdonnell AT msn.com>]

Hi Michael,

My guess would have been yes, but I didn’t want to be too cocky. So I checked the Wilson Library at UNC-Chapel Hill, and sure enough found several Jung books in the Percy collection. That suggests that he did read Jung. Additionally, as psychiatry was one of the areas he was interested in pursuing as a specialty, I imagine he was introduced to Jungian psychology in med school. But I am imagining. I wonder if he spoke of Jung in any interviews? I’ll have to check the indexes of the “Conversations with …” volumes on Percy. 

What prompts your question?
