Thanks

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.
 
Thanks for the link, Chad.  Good stuff.

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...
