Given his stance on God, the body as the image of God, etc., he probably
would have advocated good old triadic communication with someone willing to
listen and participate in making meaning as opposed to hacking oneself to
bits.
What would Percy have said about people who willfully cut off
limbs in order to make themselves "whole" again - people with fully
functioning arms and legs? Carl Elliot is interviewed in the Atlantic
Monthly about his new book "Better than Well". He mentions a love for
Percy, The Moviegoer, and Love In the Ruins. Percy fans may find
something intriguing about this author and this interview...
