Extractions: Home Browse Listings Authors Walker Percy Walker Percy A highly respected American author, Walker Percy was renowned for fiction that at once reflected his thoughtful, intellectual positions coupled with a deep moral sense. Born May 28, 1916, in Birmingham, Alabama, but as a teenager, following his father's suicide and two years later, the death of his mother in an automobile accident, he and his two brothers went to live with their cousin William Alexander Percy in Greenville, Mississippi. There, Walker was intellectually stimulated by his cousin, himself a writer, and their scholarly guests. He also made a lifelong friendship with Shelby Foote More to come!

Extractions: By Christina Collins (SHS) Walker Alexander Percy, a writer who was raised in Greenville, Mississippi, was born to Leroy and Martha Percy on May 28, 1916, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents later had two other sons, Phin and Roy. Young Walker had a hard life. At the tender age of thirteen, his father, a successful lawyer in Birmingham, took his own life in the attic of their home with a shotgun. Just two years later, his mother drove her car off a country bridge. Some say it was accidental; but young Walker, at the age of fifteen, always suspected she, too, had taken her own life (Benfey 2) . The three orphaned boys were sent to live with their father's cousin, William Alexander Percy, a writer himself, in

http://www.ibiblio.org/wpercy/biography.html

Extractions: At the time of this biography's creation, Walker Percy's writings and ideas are increasingly becoming more esteemed and appreciated, especially since his death in 1990. Known primarily as a "philosophical novelist," Percy has to the credit of his name some six novels, in addition to three works of non-fiction. The last of these three non-fiction works, Signposts in a Strangeland (1991), is a posthumous publication of Percy's uncollected essays, and as a whole, it offers the broadest formal selection of Percy's ideas about fiction, science, language, and his image of himself as a thinker. Additionally, at this time, some thirty-odd books are available that treat him as a literary figure, with more new books on the way yearly. Originally trained as an MD with interests in pathology and psychiatry, Percy contracted tuberculosis in 1942 at the age of twenty-six. Confined to the sanitarium for several following years, Percy began delving into literary and philosophical readings during his slow recovery. Especially taking an interest in Existentialism, with its concern for the "alienation" of the modern individual, Percy made this period of intense, sustained reading the foundation for all his writings to follow. Indeed, nearly all of his novels are concerned with individuals who are on a "search" for a more "authentic" existence beyond the limited meaning given their lives by a techno-scientific culture. His first novel

Übersetzung Der Kinogeher (1980, übersetzt von Peter Handke) Aus der Anmerkung zur deutschen Übersetzung von Peter Handke: " The Moviegoer wurde zunächst wenig beachtet. Doch der National Book Award 1962 trug dann in Amerika viel zu einer Wirkung bei, die nicht mit der Saison wieder verschwand, sondern auch jetzt noch, fast zwanzig Jahre später, machtvoll andauert. Ohne ein außerliterarisches Kultbuch zu sein, aber auch nicht einzuordnen in die amerikanische Romantradition, wird The Moviegoer von einem Leser an den anderen weitergegeben, als die geltende Geschichte, jenseits der aktuellen Ideologien oder Schreibtheorien. ... Trotzdem will ich eine Phantasie nicht verschweigen, die im Lauf der Übersetzungsarbeit immer stärker und wärmer wurde: daß der Moviegoer wieder ein Held ist, wie er nach Camus'

Extractions: The Thanatos Syndrome Genre Novel (372 pp.) Keywords Aging Child Abuse Death and Dying Doctor-Patient Relationship ... Technology Summary Dr. Tom More, from Love in the Ruins (see this database), now middle-aged, returns to Feliciana after spending two years in prison for selling prescriptions of Dalmane and Desoxyn at a truckstop. On his return to his psychiatric practice, More observes that two of his former patients are acting strangely. In his own words: "In each there has occurred a sloughing away of the old terrors, worries, rages, a shedding of guilt like last year's snakeskin, and in its place is a mild fond vacancy, a species of unfocused animal good spirits." (21) More observes that his wife Ellen and his children have also undergone some mysterious personality change. More, the scientist-physician, with the help of his cousin Dr. Lucy Lipscomb, launches a search for the cause of these and other observations. More and Lucy discover that John Van Dorn, head of the computer division of the nearby Grand Mer nuclear power plant and Dr. Bob Comeaux, director of the Quality-of-Life Division of the Federal Complex overseeing euthanasia programs, are involved in social engineering, releasing Heavy Sodium into the water supply to "improve" the social welfare.
