Sounds like a cool project.

Apparently, Hemingway's father committed suicide, like Percy's. As you
probably know, Hemingway took his own life, but Walker didn't. Comparing
their approach to death/suicide and how this manifests itself in their
novels might be an interesting entrance into the comparison.

For the record, I've never seen someone compare Percy with Hemingway yet.
