I’m wondering if anyone else on this list has read
Percy’s recently published “A Detective Story” and
wondered if Percy is writing his own the male life-crisis
fugue version of Dashiell Hammett’s “Flitcraft
Parable”?

You can link to the Percy story here:

If you Google Flitcraft you’ll find the text and lots of
comments.  There’s a pretty good discussion here by Alan
Gratz:
