It's the sequel to <i>Love in the Ruins</i>. I remember liking it, despite its frowny critical reception, when it came out. I'm liking it thus far now.

It's essentially the sequel to <i>Love in the Ruins</i>. I'm taking a re-look at Lost in the Cosmos, but I think he got a little too carried away with the self v. self argument--a little too Kierkegaardian for my liking. Besides, as you know I'm a secret romantic. ;)Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-81864930349458896852017-08-10T09:16:52.466-04:002017-08-10T09:16:52.466-04:00Love Walker Percy.
