Sacred and Profane Love Episode 14: Walker Percy on Being Lost in the Cosmos

from Sacred and Profane Love

In episode 14 of Sacred and Profane Love, "Walker Percy on Being Lost in the Cosmos," I speak with associate professor of Literature, Jessica Hooten Wilson, about Walker Percy's dystopian, science fiction novel, Love in the Ruins.  We discuss the darkly comic adventures of Dr. Tom More as he tries to figure out how to live and love in the ruins of a society that seems eerily familiar to our own.  We also discuss Percy's satirical take on the self-help genre, Lost in the Cosmos.  So bring out the Early Times this weekend, settle down on the porch, and enjoy a conversation about one of our greatest Southern writers.
