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

[Michael Martin Serafin <michael_serafin AT hotmail.com>]

Hello Miss McDonnell,

Thanks for your input on this. Lately, I have been catching up on episodes of a podcast called "Digital Jung", written and presented by Jason Smith, Jungian analyst and author of " Religious But Not Religious: Living A Symbolic Life", and the podcast is a companion to the book. At the same time, I have just started reading "The Last Gentleman" for the first time. In it, Percy's protagonist reads "a German physician" whose patient experiences "gaps" in memory and "fugue states". I was wondering if this " German physician" referred to, but not named is Jung.

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?
