Walker Percy

Walker Percy is signing my book called "Prophecy in American Fiction" at a reception in his honor in Washington D.C. in 1983. My doctoral dissertation was on the novels of Walker Percy. Walker Percy was one of the well known novelists of America , living at that time. He was a medical doctor and an agnostic. But then, he became a Catholic and was very successful in combining ubobtrusively Catholic message along with existential philosophy in his novels dealing with the contemporary problems of America. He was very gracious in sending me responses whenever I have asked for clarifications on various aspects of his novels.
