Alan Jacobs Gets Lost in the Cosmos

Alan Jacobs on Lost in the Cosmos–the book, not this blog:

“Lost in the Cosmos is the most peculiar book of Percy’s career, and in my judgment his finest achievement. I read it when it first appeared, and if you had asked me at the time whether I expected the book to be relevant in 30 years, I probably would have said no.”

He tells you why he was happily wrong here.

While we’re at it, feel free to drop by our place next weekend to view this Percy documentary.
