Dear Mr. Kobre, Dr Percy knew that our thoughts are illusions. (all those questions of his brought us back on ourselves) Above all he also knew that Kierkegaard was onto something when he wrote that the work of religions in natural man leads him to to the acquisition of the self ( soul) and the attainment of freedom. This last word is the most important word for me about Dr Percy. He pointed a way towards freedom. He showed that we cannot see our own nothingness without submission to something higher. What one loves about Dr Percy is the transformation part. Mans possible freedom. The search is the search for our soul. Dr Percy gave us a taste of our human ableness. Readers aren't drawn to these things. Its too much work. And yet....... let us not forget that "The Moviegoer" too had disappeared from just about everyone's sight before it was seen anew. and about Bakhtin The ever changing boundary where two people meet is a most important occurrence in the novels. ( think Sutter Vaught and Barrett, in "The Last Gentleman") He takes dialogue seriously. Something exchanged between two people is better than a monologue. You exchange news. What you do with it is another thing....... Good wishes On 10/6/2015 7:29 AM, Leslie Marsh
