Enjoy this book. Add it to your library. Treat it like its own little library, and enjoy the edification and education, challenge, and joy of reading Jim's informed cultural commentary on so many of our greatest writers, thinkers, and firebrands.--from the Introduction by James Martin, SJ

America columnist and Catholic cultural and literary critic, James T. Keane, brings together fifty varied voices--including some underappreciated ones--and reflects on their cultural, political, literary, and religious influence. His smart, accessible style brings thought leaders into conversation with a Catholic sensibility, opening unexpected insights into our current moment.

Among these fifty figures are John Kennedy Toole, Kirstin Valdez Quade, Dorothy Day, Jon Hassler, Mary Karr, Martin Amis, Toni Morrison, Graham Greene, Shusaku Endo, Andre Dubus III, Iris Murdoch, Colm T?ib?n, J.F. Powers, Salman Rushdie, Mary Gordon, Wendell Berry, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sigrid Undset, Alice McDermott, and John Irving.

Reading Culture through Catholic Eyes combines Keane's breadth of knowledge of literary and cultural voices with a deep background in Catholic theology and spirituality. For general readers who appreciate lively and relevant writing, this book is a must-have.
