I, for one, would like to hear/read a synopsis of both books. The
postmodern book is in my shopping cart at amazon. I haven't checked on
your new book. Can you give us a nutshell version of both?
Thanks.

My new ALIENS IN AMERICA: THE STRANGE TRUTH ABOUT OUR SOULS has a chapter on Percy and Carl Sagan and another on Percy, Tocqueville, William Alexander Percy on aristocracy and democracy in America.  If anyone wants to discuss any of this, I would be glad to respond.
