    Extractions: Walker Percy and the Christian Scandal Marion Montgomery First Things 32 (April 1993): 38-44. In Washington, where he was to give the eighteenth Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities on May 3, 1989, Walker Percy also gave an interview to Scott Walter for Crisis . This is almost exactly a year before his death, and both the interview and his lecture, "The Fateful Rift: The San Andreas Fault in the Modern Mind," reflect not only his journey up to that point, but a continuing concern for the meaning of the journey and to a degree a continuing ambiguity in his understanding of intellectual experience. He still shares with Binx Bolling an amused wonder in the presence of experience, still somewhat divided of mind as to the dependability of immediate experience, a condition suited to the novelist. Perhaps the point can best be presented by noticing the divided sense in which Percy uses the term liberal in his interview. A problem arises in his discomfort with the liberal mind, with which he nevertheless shares causes. "I agree with them on almost everything: their political and social causes, and the ACLU, God knows, the right to freedom of speech, to help the homeless, the poor, the minorities." But the liberal position on abortion and euthanasia is "a mystery, a bafflement to me." Their "hearts are in the right place," but "they cannot see the paradox of being in favor of these good things and yet not batting an eyelash when it comes to destroying unborn life."

    Extractions: Walker Percy was especially kind to the Maple Street Book Shop. Years ago, when he was teaching a course at Loyola, he started dropping by to sign books for us. He also let us give several autograph parties for him, even though, as we discovered later, they were a source of intense discomfort to him, as he hated forgetting people's names and perhaps hurting their feelings. Customer response invariably yielded great piles of sometimes weird and intricate requests for special inscriptions. He would always try to accommodate and would only sometimes pass judgement in the form of a sad smile when confronted with instructions on a form to inscribe something like, "To a budding fellow writer who treads the same path and makes the same search . . . " or "To a bourbon-lover extraordinaire – You love not wisely but too well . . . don't blow your cool." Once in a while, he'd look

    Extractions: Walker Percy Amerikanischer Arzt und Schriftsteller. Geboren 1916 in Birmingham, Alabama. Chemiestudium an der University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Abschluß 1937. Medizinstudium an der Columbia University in New York, Spezialisierung auf Psychologie und Pathologie, Abschluß 1941. 1942 Erkrankung an Tuberkulose, dreijähriger Kampf mit der Krankheit. 1946 Heirat mit Mary Bernice Townsend. 1947 zum Katholizismus konvertiert. Lebte ab 1950 in Covington, Louisiana. 1990 gestorben an Krebs in Covington. Werke The Moviegoer (Roman, 1960), dt. 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'
