James Fisher argues that Catholic culture was transformed when
products of the "immigrant church," largely inspired by converts
like Dorothy Day, launched a variety of spiritual, communitarian,
and literary experiments. He also explores the life and works of
Thomas A. Dooley and Jack Kerouac to show that their experiences
signaled a new Catholic appreciation of the American tradition of
creative freedom.
