Thanks to Michael for introducing and Marc for providing materials on the
topic of Percy's posthumously published *Symbol and Existence: A Study in
Meaning: Explorations of Human Nature* (Mercer UP, 2019).
Book Description:
https://www.mupress.org/Symbol-and-Existence-A-Study-in-Meaning-Explorations-of-Human-Nature-P1016.aspx
Below are two readily-accessible reviews, which Percy-L community members
may find of interest.
Further discussion is, of course, most welcome, for instance: how *S&E* is
different from Percy's *Message in the Bottle* and pertinent sections in
his *Lost in the Cosmos*, or agreements/disagreements with either review
below. Certainly, there is much unexplored territory in contrasting these
three Percy books.
Best regards,
Henry Mills
