Augustine

Breaking my Twitter fast to say this: Randy Boyagoda is hilarious and humane. We talk about what it means to have faith in fiction, and how he married the sacred and the profane in his own novels. Next up on the pod: Russ Hittinger on Augustine's Confessions. 🙌🏻 https://t.co/cKdEOZYrrJ

This Sunday evening (7PM) I'm hosting a salon on Flannery O'Connor's vision of grace. Often labeled a "hillbilly nihilist" she protested that she was in fact a "hillbilly Thomist" who wrote about sin and God's grace. Come join us to read and discuss her stories and essays! https://t.co/QpsID0WEiX

Book Cover for: Suttree, Cormac McCarthy

Suttree

Cormac McCarthy
Jennifer A. FreyJennifer A. Frey

Cormac McCarthy's Suttree. I loved it. I think it's especially revealing of his Catholic haunted literary imagination. It's funny and sad (but not nihilistic) and somehow makes Knoxville intriguing. Curious what you think, especially about Sut himself.
