Expand description
This wide-ranging collection comes at a time when public interest in religious affairs, particularly relating to the Catholic Church, its teachings, its leadership, and the views of the laity, has never been more intense.
"Saints and Sinners" presents many classic pieces, featuring some of the most renowned writers in the United States. A list of the names reads like a roll call of twentieth-century American letters; among them, Jimmy Breslin, William F. Buckley, Jr., James Carroll, Dorothy Day, John Gregory Dunne, Mary Gordon, Mary McCarthy, Alice McDermott, Thomas Merton, Flannery O'Connor, Mario Puzo, and Gary Wills. This is a collection to which readers will return time and time again.
