This reading group will cover short fiction (as well as selected prose) from Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, and J.F. Powers, three Roman Catholic writers who lived and wrote in America in the mid-twentieth century. In addition to biblical types and symbolism, the group will consider the idea of man as pilgrim and Percy’s conception of the novelist–particularly the existential novelist–as a sort of prophet who provides “signposts in a strange land”. The group will meet in the Liddon Room at 9.15am each Friday in Term (starting 1st May) 1st – 8th Weeks. For more information, please contact matti@puseyhouse.org.uk
