[percy-l] A Dissertation on Percy (Justin Bonanno)

Thank you for providing Patrick Connelly's email, Rich! It is much
appreciated.

And thank you for the advice on reading Percy's marginalia, Rhonda. My
dissertation will focus on the implications of Percy's triadic theory of
communication for the field of speech communication. The dissertation is in
an early stage at the moment. While I'm still searching for the "question,"
as it were, in the least I'm wondering, "If Percy was alive today, given
the electronic milieu, would he still use the novel as his medium of
communication to convey his philosophical ideas?"
