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

[RHONDA MCDONNELL <rhonda_mcdonnell AT msn.com>]

Hmmm reminiscent of the Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare camp (but inverted) or something like it?
Confederacy of Dunces, to my remembrance, shares little with Percy’s fiction stylistically or thematically. Nor was it Percy’s humor. Percy was sly and clever typically, not scatalogical in the way Toole is with Ignatius Reilly’s farting or broad in
 the way buffoonery is used to such effect by Toole. What do all y’all think?

I just saw that a featured speaker at the upcoming Percy Weekend event alleges that Percy may have written "Confedeacy of Dunces" rather than Toole. Percy supposedly hints at this in his archival papers. What to make of this?
