Sign Up Now! In Walker Percy's novel The Last Gentleman , the character of Will Barrett is a Mississippi-born college dropout who works in the boiler room of Macy's department store. As the following passage suggests, he lives alone in New York City, a detached observer of life. from The Last Gentleman by Walker Percy New York is full of people from small towns who are quite content to live obscure lives in some out-of-the-way corner of the city. Here there is no one to keep track. Though such a person might have come from a long line of old settlers and a neighborhood rich in memories, now he chooses to live in a flat on 231st Street, pick up the paper and milk on the doorstep every morning, and speak to the elevator man. In Southern genealogies there is always mention of a cousin who went to live in New York in 1922 and not another word. One hears that people go to New York to seek their fortunes, but many go to seek just the opposite.

Sovereignty i'd rather teach one bird to sing than ten thousand stars how not to dance. e. e. cummings Garcia Lopez de Cardenas discovered the Grand Canyon and was amazed at the sight. It can be imagined: One crosses miles of desert, breaks through the mesquite, and there it is at one's feet. Later the government set the place aside as a national park, hoping to pass along to millions the experience of Cardenas. Does not one see the same sight from the Bright Angel Lodge that Cardenas saw?.... A man in Boston decides to spend his vacation at the Grand Canyon. He visits his travel bureau, looks at the folder, signs up for a two-week tour. He and his family take the tour, see the Grand Canyon, and return to Boston. May we say that this man has seen the Grand Canyon? Possibly he has. But it is more likely that what he has done is the one sure way not to see the canyon. Why is it almost impossible to gaze directly at the Grand Canyon under these circumstances and see it for what it isas one picks up a strange object from one's back yard and gazes directly at it? It us almost impossible because the Grand Canyon, the thing as it is, has been appropriated by the symbolic complex which has already been formed in the sightseer's mind. Seeing the canyon under approved circumstances is seeing the symbolic complex head on. The thing is no longer as it confronted the Spaniard; it is rather that which has already been formulatedby picture postcard, geography book, tourist folder, and the words

44. The Religion Of Walker Percy, Acclaimed Author The religious affiliation (religion) of walker percy, acclaimed American author. http://www.adherents.com/people/pp/Walker_Percy.html

Famous Catholics The Religious Affiliation of Walker Percy acclaimed author Walker Percy: From: O'Gorman, Farrell. " Walker Percy, the Catholic Church and Southern race relations (ca. 1947-1970) " in The Mississippi Quarterly , Winter 1999/2000: Percy, after being raised as a committed segregationist, had upon entering the Roman Catholic Church in 1947 begun to reevaluate his social ethics; by the mid-1950s he had become an outspoken opponent of segregation, and during the turbulent decade that followed wrote several articles attacking the racist mores of white Southerners on explicitly Christian grounds. In other words, Percy's commitment to the civil rights movement was a direct consequence of his religious conversion, and it is only in connection with his Catholicism that it is properly understood... Percy was raised an agnostic (though nominally affiliated with a theologically liberal Presbyterian church); he acquired from his distinguished uncle and guardian William Alexander Percy not only religious liberalism but also political conservatism, embodied in the old Southern planter's paternalistic attitude towards the African-Americans whom he defended from the Klan but nonetheless conceived of as inherently inferior.

skip to main skip to sidebar FemaleCSGradStudent Since 2005 Saturday, June 16, 2007 Walker Percy and His Moviegoer Last time I was this bored, I ended up dyeing my hair orange. These days, I am a moviegoer . Ticket stubs litter my wallet. Away from Her. Mr. Brooks. Oceans 13. I try to draw lines around what I won't see. I divide the garbage from the acceptable mediocrity. Then a day comes when I am especially bored and I have to renegotiate. Hence, "Oceans 13." I hope that I can hold out against Shrek 3. Typically, I like summers in GradShitTownVille because it's so desolate. The thousands of undergraduates have gone home. The coffee shop isn't packed with laptop surfers. Not every night is douche-bag night. But there is a price. Summer is also the time that friends typically go on internning adventures or take their final bow. My boyfriend is at Microsoft until August. My favorite movie buddy has graduated and left town. I'm left trying to figure out which of my remaining friends will put up with me. Trying to figure out if I should make new ones, or just build a hermitage. Boredom doesn't mean a lack of work. There's plenty to do. I have two more papers planned for a September deadline. Boredom means a lack of engaging human contact. A lack of new things to see. Even when I dyed my hair orange two years ago, I had a friend to keep me company in the bathroom. She's in Chicago, wondering when I will tear myself away from work to come visit. Part of me wants to. Part of me wants to graduate as soon as fucking possible.

June 8, 1997 The Doubtful Pilgrim By ROBERT COLES The life of a beguiling novelist who was both skeptic and innocent Read the First Chapter More on Walker Percy, from The New York Times Archives Walker Percy A Life. By Patrick H. Samway. Illustrated. 506 pp. New York: y the time Walker Percy died, in May 1990, a few weeks short of his 74th birthday, he had written six novels and two books of nonfiction. He was a respected philosophical novelist, possessed of a moral seriousness and erudition that in no way hindered his capacity to tell stories whose mix of accessibility, poignant inwardness of vision and shrewd, knowing humor earned him a wide, devoted following. He came relatively late to a career in fiction; his first and best-known novel, ''The Moviegoer,'' which won the National Book Award in 1962, appeared when he was in his middle 40's. Until then he lived the quiet life of a family man of some means who spent his days reading and writing. Those close to him knew he'd gone to medical school, had contracted tuberculosis during an internship in pathology, had never practiced medicine, had become interested in philosophy and psychiatry and had published on both subjects, mostly in academic journals. While his brothers fought in World War II, Percy, in his middle 20's, fought for his life in a hospital and read voraciously: Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Kierkegaard, Gabriel Marcel and, not least, Thomas Mann, whose ''Magic Mountain'' tells of an orphan of well-to-do background, trained in science, who contracts tuberculosis. As a patient in a Swiss sanitarium Mann's protagonist goes through the kind of soul-searching that readers of ''The Moviegoer'' or ''The Last Gentleman'' know as a defining aspect of what a particular novelist has imparted to his fictional characters their intense struggle to figure out life's meaning and purpose. (Even as Mann sometimes refers to Hans Castorp as ''the engineer,'' Percy salutes that master's demanding intellectual drama by using a similar designation for the protagonist of his longest, most ambitious novel, ''The Last Gentleman.'')

56. Flannery O'connor, Walker Percy, And The Aesthetic Of Revelation By John D. Syke According to John Sykes, the fiction of Flannery O’Connor and walker percy provides occasions for divine revelation. He traces their work from its common http://press.umsystem.edu/fall2007/sykes.htm

UNIVERSITY OF M ISSOURI PRESS Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, and the Aesthetic of Revelation John D. Sykes, Jr. ISBN 978-0-8262-1757-8 208 pages 6 x 9 bibliography, index With his mastery of modernist technique and his depictions of characters obsessed with the past, Nobel laureate William Faulkner raised the bar for southern fiction writers. But the work of two later authors shows that the aesthetic of memory is not enough: Confederate thunder fades as they turn to an explicitly religious source of meaning. According to John Sykes, the fiction of Flannery O’Connor and Walker Percy provides occasions for divine revelation. He traces their work from its common roots in midcentury southern and Catholic intellectual life to show how the two adopted different theological emphases and rhetorical strategies—O’Connor building to climactic images, Percy striving for dialogue with the reader—as a means of uncovering the sacramental foundation of the created order. Sykes sets O’Connor and Percy against the background of the Southern Renaissance from which they emerged, showing not only how they shared a distinctly Christian notion of art that led them to see fiction as revelatory but also how their methods of revelation took them in different directions. Yet, despite their differences in strategy and emphasis, he argues that the two are united in their conception of the artist as “God’s sharp-eyed witness,” and he connects them with the philosophers and critics, both Christian and non-Christian, who had a meaningful influence on their work.
