Table of Contents Books Etc. CHAPTER ONE: The Birmingham Years It is said that anyone who grows up in the Mississippi Delta knows the anecdotal histories of 1,200 people, and indeed many Southerners pride themselves on their ability to trace quickly some fairly complicated family trees. Although Walker Percy rarely spoke about his family history (see the Appendix), he knew that it was both long and complicated. His sense of it was deeply embedded in his consciousness, because certain prominent last names were often repeated as first or middle names in subsequent generations of Percysa common feature of Southern nomenclature. In Greenville, Mississippi, LeRoy's first cousin William Alexander Percylater known as "Uncle Will"returned home in September 1914 from a trip to Sicily and France"a tourist in a tourist's world, with no premonitions," as he writes in Lanterns on the Levee. Will was working on his book of poetry, Sappho in Levkas. He and his father, U.S. Senator LeRoy Percy, planned to head for Alaska for some bear hunting. While away, they were wholly unaware of another family returning from a different type of vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Billups Phinizy of Athens, Georgia, and three of their five daughters, among whom was Martha Susan ("Mattie Sue," born May 3, 1890), were returning from Europe. To receive the news of the European trip, Mattie Sue's older sister, Bolling (pronounced "Bo-leen") Phinizy Spalding and her young son, Jack, traveled from Atlanta to Athens.

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'

15. Walker Percy Walker Percy s Courageous Life. Did you impoverished ancients. Everything that is, except for one thing, as Walker Percy puts it http://www.amywelborn.com/walkerpercy/article.html

Walker Percy's Courageous Life Did you ever wake up in the morning and wonder just what has gone wrong? Yes, I know. the water runs clearly, friendly faces chat about good news, pills slaughter your germs, back seats bulge with mall loot and chocolate-chip bagels are but a few steps away. Isn't it the best of all possible worlds? You'd rather be a sixth-century Visigoth or an Aztec virgin preparing for her sacrificial duty, maybe? But there it is, nonetheless, tugging at what some say is your soul. A suspicion that something has gone awry, that in this age of the fit, the prosperous and the wired, someone has forgotten to tell you something important. And the scinece oh, that science. It prolongs your life, brings wonders into your home and explains everything that mystified those impoverished ancients. Everything that is, except for one thing, as Walker Percy puts it: How indeed is one to live in this peculiar time and history and on ordinary Wednesday afternoons. Yes, you suspect, there is something wrong, for there are those moments that you realize that modern life, culture and knowledge have left you without something most fundamental a satisfying understanding of just who you are and why you are here watching the sun put one more day of your life in the past. You must be more than a mere organism or an insatiable, endlessly manipulable consumer. You must be. You must. This question of the self absorbed Walker Percy, a physician novelist, Southerner and Catholic convert. He picked at it, probed it, and spent his life diagnosing this modern malaise as a philosopher, a writer and a human being making his own courageous way through life.
