Book excerpt: In Walker Percy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and the Search for Influence, Jessica Hooten Wilson studies the career of Walker Percy--his adaptations of Dostoevsky's motifs and overall influence by the great Russian writer. This book undermines long-held assumptions about artistic originality by focusing on the Christian way in which Walker Percy modeled his fiction after the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Only by studying the good that came before can one translate it in a new voice for the here and now.
