Dear Percy-L



The Walker Percy Author Society is re-launching! The focus of this society is the study of Percy’s work, both fiction and non-fiction, and we encourage an interdisciplinary approach that matches the interdisciplinary nature of Dr. Percy’s own work. Please consider joining us in Chicago this spring for the annual American Literature Conference. The CFP (see below) allows for any interest in Percy you might want to pursue.



I hope to hear from some of you with proposals for our session.



Best to all!

Rhonda



CALL FOR PAPERS



AMERICAN LITERATURE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE



MAY 26-29, 2022, Chicago, IL



The Walker Percy Society invites proposals for papers to be presented at the 2022 American Literature Association in Chicago, Illinois, 26-29 May 2022. We welcome any topic related to Percy's fiction or nonfiction.  Topics directly or tangentially to Walker Percy's continued relevance and importance to our 21st century world, with all its vagaries, anxieties, and abstractions, are especially welcomed. In short, how does Walker Percy still speak to us?



Send 250-word abstracts for a twenty-minute presentation to Rhonda McDonnell at rmdonnell at nvcc.edu by January 21, 2022. Please title your subject line "ALA Proposal [your last name]" and include in the body of your message a brief biographical sketch, your preferred email address, and any AV equipment needs.
