Walker Percy Question
Cacciaguida seems to be reading Walker Percy's Lancelot. I read it in July, and liked it a lot. I'm currently reading The Thatanos Syndrome.
I have a Walker Percy question, for all those Southern Catholic-lit experts in my readership: what's the relationship between The Thatanos Syndrome and Love in the Ruins Clearly, both are about Dr. Tom More, and The Thatanos Syndrome seems to come after Love in the Ruins chronologically. But the world of The Thatanos Syndrome seems to be very different, very much less insane, than the world of Love in the Ruins. Is the point that the weirder aspects of Love in the Ruins were dreamt-up by Dr. More, or at least embellished by his temporary madness?
What's the deal? Professor 'iaguida? Mme. Tushnet? Bueller? Bueller?
