Talk About A Dream: The Essential Interviews Of Bruce Springsteen - Plot & Excerpts
Both writers’ work are informed by struggles with Catholicism, and though they never met, their affinity provided occasion for one of Springsteen’s most thoughtful and wide-ranging interviews. Dr. Percy’s nephew, Will Percy, talked at length with Springsteen about his influences, literary and otherwise, about celebrity, alienation, and the cultural landscape of America. Bruce references Dr. Percy’s essays throughout, and in a way this interview is a conversation with a ghost. Not responding to a “fan letter—of sorts” or fully appreciating his work until after Percy’s death, Springsteen wrote to his widow: “It is now one of my great regrets that we didn’t get to correspond.” In early 1989, Walker Percy penned a fan letter “of sorts” to Bruce Springsteen, praising the musician’s “spiritual journey” and hoping to begin a correspondence between them. At the time, Springsteen hesitated in responding, but he later picked up a copy of The Moviegoer and began a new journey into Dr.
