The Catholic Writer Today: And Other Essays
Over the past decade Dana Gioia has emerged as a compelling advocate of Christianity's continuing importance in contemporary culture. His incisive and arresting essays have examined the spiritual dimensions of art and the decisive role faith has played in the lives of artists. This new volume collects Gioia's essays on Christianity, literature, and the arts. His influential title essay ignited a national conversation about the role of Catholicism in American literature. Other pieces explore the often-harrowing lives of Christian poets and painters as well as contemplate scripture and modern martyrdom.

Praise for this book
Dana Gioia's "The Catholic Writer today" sets a mighty finger on the scales of literature: on the one side what matters and lasts, and on the other what's shallow and doesn't. this electrifying essay is a guide for the perplexed; its arguments about Catholic literature could be applied to American writing in general. Without the complications of tradition and history - the history of meaning - what's left?
