Light On Dark Water

Via Amy Welborn via Matthew Lickona, here is a roughly ten-minute video of Walker Percy's address on receiving the Laetare Medal at Notre Dame in 1989. If you know his work, this is a chance to get a sense of what the man himself was like. If you don't, his speech provides the frame of reference for understanding it. And the next thing you need to do is go to the bookstore or the library and get The Moviegoer or Love in the Ruins or Lost in the Cosmos.
