About this product
Product Information
This book uses fiction to help readers understand philosophical themes and apply philosophical reflection to clarify the fiction. The study moves through roughly a hundred years of modern fiction, from Washington Irving's "The Devil and Tom Walker" (1824) through James M. Cain's Double Indemnity (1936). Classics, largely forgotten stories, and popular novels are included in the discussion. Book jacket.

Reviews
"...reaches well beyond literature and philosophy and delves into the human tendency to reduce writings to preset, cultural categories, while providing a way beyond--to read and think beyond what may appear to be known or knowable."--William Daniel, author of Inhabited by Grace and Christ the Liturgy, "I loved reading this book. I found it interesting, engaging, and illuminating!"--Emily Dial-Driver, professor of English
