Dear Mr. Mills:
We thought you might like to know that New York Encounter is organizing
a public exhibit about the life and work of Walker Percy, "The
Irreducible Self," which will be on display from Jan. 17-19, 2014, in
New York City.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
"... Although there are many aspects of Percy's writing that make his
work attractive, his particular genius was that he could make you, his
reader, feel a new fascination for the strangeness of your own being. If
you engage Walker Percy's work seriously, you are changed. You can no
longer take for granted that you are a clearly defined being plugged
into a world that more or less makes sense. You are aware that your
humanity is indeed 'the strangest object in the Cosmos' and the world
around you is in many ways constructed to suffocate and avoid the
questions that our being provokes. ..."

"New York Encounter (NYE) is an annual three-day public cultural
festival in the heart of New York City organized by members of the
Catholic movement Communion and Liberation and by Crossroads Cultural
Center. NYE strives to witness to the new life and knowledge generated
by the faith, following Pope Benedict's claim that 'the intelligence of
faith has to become the intelligence of reality.' ..."
Please feel free to pass the information on to your email contacts in
the tri-state area who you think might be interested.
Thank you very much!
