More conversations with Walker Percy
No full textThis collection of interviews supplements Conversations with Walker Percy and occasions an additional two dozen pleasurable encounters with Percy. Primarily from the last ten years of Percy's life, they show how his presence was stimulating thought in much of humanistic America, in literature, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, and in cultural life in general. Although this acclaimed author of The Moviegoer, Lancelot, and Love in the Ruins never overcame his shyness with interviewers, he continued to grant interviews as long as his health permitted. This act of openness illustrates his humility before his ideas and his desire to help others understand them. Although the questions he was asked almost invariably became predictable, he always managed to add an anecdote, an illustration, a topical reference, that would breathe new life into the responses he was making. The interviews in this collection show him at the height when he knew that his illness would not allow him to write any more books, and that the only way to restate his ideas and offer a valediction to the large audience to whom he had always been kind, patient, and appreciative was to speak out. Percy despised the posture of many modern self-proclaimed intellectuals who delight in cloaking ideas in jargon and abstraction. He always tried to express himself clearly and as free of reservations as possible. These interviews reflect that clarity. With this book readers will welcome yet more close encounters with him
A Hundred Fables: Aesop (Cover: Aesop's Fables Coloring Book)
No full textHere is curious 8½" x 11" print-upon-demand paperback book that gives two pages -- one for text and one for illustration -- to 100 fables from Aesop. Outside of the covers, the book is entirely black-and-white. It hurries to begin, with only a page to acknowledge the publisher and a page to declare a title -- one of three -- and a word of explanation about Aesop and Percy Billinghurst. Similarly, at the end there are only two pages of advertisements. I miss rudiments like a T of C or AI. The three titles are "Aesops Fables Coloring Book" (front cover); "A Hundred Fables Aesop" (inside); and Aesops Fables with Illustrations by Percy J. Billinghurst: 100 Fables and Illustrations" (back cover). The texts are taken without acknowledgement from George Fyler Townsend (1867).No Autho
