Walker Percy’s work appears in two anthologies that align closely with his literary preoccupations. On Suicide: Great Writers on the Ultimate Question (1992) includes his writing on a topic he explored both personally (his father’s suicide shaped his life) and intellectually throughout his career.

The Vintage Book of Amnesia (2000) collects fiction and non-fiction about memory loss and disrupted identity — themes that run through Percy’s novels, where characters frequently experience fugue states, deja vu, and a persistent sense that something fundamental about their lives has gone missing.
