I am aware that he was a casual (social?) member of a Jung discussion group during his later years in Covington. Also, that his artist friend (forget her name now) with whom he had an office next to, was a Jungian devotee. He has some comments in his writings/interviews, but doesn't seem to embrace Jung wholeheartedly. I am particularly interested in what he might have thought of Jung's concept of "synchronicity." Interested in any comments or thoughts on the matter - Karey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

One of his bugbears was the tendency of some writers to get so in the groove with Freud that they would break into dream sequences as an integral part of the narrative. He hated it, having tried the device a few times and found it to be a quick road to failure. You will search the Percy Canon in vain for any example.

Could someone provide a reference for this and suggest how the article might be obtained. Many thanks in anticipation, D.
