gianni_francis's review against another edition
3.0
Why are modern Catholic authors hiding? How do we bring them back into the open? (Buy their books, read their books, duh.)
Modern readers don't want religious writers, but a novel set in modernity from a religious perspective can definitely engage a secular audience. It is called Catholic for a reason...
Our "bad" culture doesn't want to read, let alone be lectured morally, so let's start by mainstreaming the "bad" Catholic authors like Mary Karr and--though she'll never admit to being Catholic--Tricia Lockwood.
Hollywood picking up a Catholic screenplay based on a Catholic novel would help the cause but movies are expensive and usually terrible. I'm just sick of Oscar bait propaganda...
