> philosopher Stanley Cavell, who, I think, shares a noteworthy spiritual
> kinship with Percy. For that reason, Percy (and The Moviegoer in
> particular) became significant terms of comparison in writing that book.
> That writing also made me eager to find further opportunities to think,
> talk, teach, and write about Walker Percy. This list looks as though it
