Description:
From Flannery O’Connor and James Baldwin to the post-9/11 writings of Jonathan Franzen and Don DeLillo, imaginative writers have often been the most insightful chroniclers of the USA’s changing religious life since the end of World War II. Exploring a wide range of writers from Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and secular writers, this book is an in-depth study of contemporary fiction’s engagement with religious faith, identity and practice. By reading the major writers of our time, George Eaton discovers a more nuanced picture of the varieties of American religious experience than commonplace cultural ideas of progressive secularisation or faith-based polarization might suggest.Writers covered include: James Baldwin, Saul Bellow, Don DeLillo, E.L. Doctorow, Jonathan Safron Foer, Flannery O’Connor, Philip Roth and John Updike.
