Here's a prescription for Ms. Dowd:

Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com

"The late Walker Percy's mordant contribution to the self-help book craze of the 1980s deals with the heavy abstraction of the Western mind and speculates about why writers may be the most abstracted and least grounded of all."

Maureen, if you need a heavy intellectual conversation piece, this is definitely for you. If you can't find a handsome guy (who is more than your "equal" intellectually) to have a stimulating conversation with, send us an email. This has gone on long enough. Time to blow your neural circuits out along with the Manhattan power liberal ontological catgeories.

Sure those aren't epistemological categories instead?

Are you Dr. Sonheim? I thought only he would mention Walker Percy on an FR thread!
