I don't know how to get on the listserv. I've never been on anything like it before, but I'd really like to. Maybe you could explain how to join it. I'm writing about The Moviegoer, The Thanatos Syndrome, Lost in the Cosmos and parts of Message in the Bottle. I've got plenty of questions that I'm sure some of the people on the forum would be able to help me figure out. I won't bother you with any of them right now though. Thanks for your willingness to help me out a little. Good luck with your grades, Richard Flynn From dabeck at iupui.edu Tue Dec 18 14:38:57 2001 From: dabeck at iupui.edu (David Alan Beck) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 14:38:57 -0500 (EST) Subject: Walker Percy (fwd) Message-ID: Dear list, I'm forwarding two emails that deal with Percy. I hope this might awaken our sleeping list. David Beck "The past is never dead. It's not even past." -William Faulkner ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 05:38:34 -0500 From: rflynn at GUILFORD.EDU To: dabeck at iupui.edu Subject: Walker Percy Mr. Beck, I am a student at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC who saw your e-mail on a Walker Percy discussion group. I'm writing my undergraduate honors thesis on Walker Percy. My thesis director has never read any of his writings and neither has anyone on my committee. I'm writing on the usual stuff (his work as it relates to existentialism and Catholicism). My angle is trying to contrast his non-fiction with his fiction. I'm trying to examine the ways in which the non-fiction has a different effect than the fiction. I was hoping you might know some criticism that touches on this subject, since the resources at this school are pretty slim. I know this is unsolicited and you probably have plenty of things to think about already, but I would appreciate it if you sent me an e-mail either saying you're too busy to help me out or pointing me in the right direction. Thanks, Richard Flynn
