You might remember that in February we published an interview with Win Riley, the director of the forthcoming Walker Percy: A Documentary Film. Well, the forthcoming has finally come.
If you’re in New York City, you can catch a screening of the film this Saturday, presented by Crossroads Cultural Center and the Siena Forum for Faith and Culture or next Monday evening at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer. For our readers in the Phoenix area, Catholic Phoenix will be hosting a screening on October 1. Win Riley will be in attendance to discuss the film and take questions from the audience.

Riley’s documentary is wonderful. Percy readers will do well to add it to their libraries and share it with those who are looking for a way ‘home.’ Percy’s conversion story is powerful and needs to be known. Thanks, Win.

I was 42 when I sent the first three chapters of a novel I had written, “The 41st Sermon” to Walker Percy. Shortly after I received his handwritten response on my cover letter: “Randy: It reads well — I’d be glad to look at rest, but must tell you I’ve had to give up finding agent or publisher for unpublished writers — I’d be doing nothing else. Everybody in South is writing a novel – Best, W.P.” I sent the MS to him and waited and waited and then in May the following year woke up one morning to read his obituary in the paper. I’d be happy to send any Percy fan interested in seeing a scan of the note an email. I’ve entered the world of epublishing so The 41st Sermon is now live on Smashwords and soon will be on Amazon.com My email address is randyattwood@hotmail.com
