Jeff,

Thanks for reviving the slumbering Percy-L.

I wrote a master's thesis on Percy which you can find reproduced at
http://www.korrektiv.org/1990/12/needles-eye-walker-percys-conception-of.html.
I haven't really kept up on Percy criticism since then, but I read
everything that was available at the time and two books particularly stood
out.

1. Critical Essays on Walker Percy (J. Donald Crowley, ed.)
2. The Fiction of Walker Percy (John Hardy)

Anything by Lewis Lawson or John Desmond will be quite excellent as well.

Happy reading,
Rufus McCain
