Marshall Smith in Lexington, Mississippi, 60 miles SE of Greenville. I
read Percy and everything I could find related to Percy for three years
during law school when I should have been studying the law. Got Cs in law
school but an enhanced way of seeing the world from Percy. I still re-read
him often. Among a lot of other things, his gift for seeing through BS,
political and otherwise, is very important now.
