  In the first undertaking of its kind in Percy criticism, John F. Desmond traces - through Walker Percy's six published novels - the writer's central and enduring concerns with community. These concerns, Desmond argues, were grounded in the realism of such Scholastics as Aquinas and Duns Scotus - realism as updated by the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce, the American philosopher.
