A bit of cross-promotion, but it’s for something many readers will hopefully appreciate: the long-awaited Walker Percy documentary now has a definite airdate. PBS will run the film on Tuesday, October 4 on many of its affiliates. Be sure to check your local listings towards the end of the month for confirmation of whether it’s airing in your area.
The film, produced by New Orleans native Win Riley, marks the most significant national exposure Percy has received in some time (perhaps since his death), and, if early reviews are to be believed, it’s a long-overdue, thoroughly moving project.
