	The Homesick Homeless (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The major events of Walker Percy's life are quickly set forth: the depression and suicide of his father; his mother's death two years later; his adoption by a cousin, "Uncle" Will Percy; medical training, contracting TB, and the decision not to practice medicine; marriage; conversion to Catholicism.
		Percy describes the story of a character in one of his unpublished novels as "the progress of the neurotic toward a dreadful grey neutrality from which he cannot escape." Percy is a genius of bleakness.
		In the novels Percy combines this moral zeal with the penetrating eye of the pathologist, a wit both sharp and harsh, a dazzlingly accurate ear for dialogue, a zany sense of humor, and a sense of both the dailiness and the apocalyptic possibilities of human life.

	The Walker Percy Project: Mills
		Percy's brilliance as a philosopher and scientist of language (in contrast to his achievements as an artist) has in many ways been overlooked and underappreciated by many of the thinkers who have treated him.
		As Percy explains, the problem is one of looking "at" rather than "through" language, for it is language that allows us the ability to conceive of "language." For instance, in one of his many essays on the subject, Percy the philosopher offers that "trying to penetrate the act of naming [i.e.

		And that is the tensional conflict in Percy's Binx Bolling in The Moviegoer.
		What lies behind Percy's limitation of his answer, one suspects, is his sense of membership in that recent intellectual community concerned with man the wayfarer, a community descended most directly from Kierkegaard to that French intellectual who has been much celebrated in the academy as Existentialist.
		Percy implies its inadequacy in calling our attention to the time-span of his novel, "the two or three days at the end of the Mardi Gras season." And the last scene on the last day is an occasion of an epiphany, not only in the Joycean sense, but in the O'Connor sense as well.

		Percy cultivated his musical talents by receiving piano lessons from Edwin Mosettig's mother, a well-known teacher in the Theresienstrasse, where he was treated like a member of the family, participating in family outings, musical soirées, swimming in the Danube, tennis, and even one bold skiing excursion to the Rax Mountains, not to be repeated.

	Who is Walker Percy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Walker Percy is chiefly known as a "philosophical novelist," but his contributions to human thought go well beyond the novels he wrote to include a rather substantial body of literary and scholastic commentary as well.
		Indeed, Percy's non-fiction writings might be said to reveal the elaborate, refined context in which the novelist generated his ideas for his fiction.
		Originally trained as a medical doctor, Percy is perhaps most readily comparable in his breadth of thought and creativity to that of the celebrated 19th-century thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson, though differences certainly abound between the two.
