| | The Thanatos Syndrome Study Guide by Walker Percy: Techniques |
 | | The most remarkable thing about The Thanatos Syndrome is the consummate skill with which Percy weaves so many important ideas into such a readable package. |
 | | Although the first-person narrative, along with Tom More's sympathetic character, draws readers in, Percy interrupts his story at various points to interject with case histories, a confessional monologue, a highly impressionistic sequence of short, disjointed paragraphs during More and Lucy's lovemaking, and the concluding rhythmic, emphatic sermon, which reads like a rolling free-verse chant. |
 | | Each guide is written by a subject expert, professional educator, or scholar of the work. |
