Since 1965 there has been an explosion of fiction about being
Catholic, clearly a result of confusions in the post-Vatican II
church. American Catholic culture has suffered severe dislocations,
and fiction has provided one way of coping with those dislocations.
In Testing the Faith, Anita Gandolfo provides an overview of
fiction about the American Catholic experience. The book considers
emerging novelists such as Mary Gordon and Valerie Sayers and
established writers like Paul Theroux. Among the popular writers
covered are Andrew Greeley and William X. Keinzle. The volume also
considers the emergence of new, young writers, such as Jeanne
Schinto, Sheila O'Connor, and Philip Deaver. By analyzing patterns
in contemporary Catholic fiction, Gandolfo shows both the shared
interest these writers have in the Catholic experience and their
individual perspectives on that experience. The book is the first
to consider post-Vatican II Catholic literature, and will be of
interest to those concerned with both the Catholic experience and
current literature.
