dear fellow appreciators of Walker Percy,
I’ve just finished rereading “Love in the Ruins” -- my fourth or fifth reading since the book was published in 1971 -- and find it even funnier and more on target than I did during earlier readings.
On this reading I was struck by how Percy’s portrait of the devil resembles the devil in Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita.” Is that a book Percy was familiar with? Did he ever write about or discuss Bulgakov?
