I have loved this since I first read it shortly after it ...By Edith RudyI have loved this since I first read it shortly after it was published. (Powers is one of those authors whose books I buy immediately.) The chance to get it for my Kindle was delightful...I am slowly trying to get my favorites on my e- reader.It can be a bit complex to figure out...the protagonist is both a "fish" and a "candidate for the crown". He's a fish because he ignored good advice and got into a poker game where he lost his soul...but he's also the natural son of the current Fisher King...though nobody knows it except the old man who adopted him after his natural father tried to kill him.As is the case with most of Powers' writing, the book deals with resurrection. (In this case, it's even the name of the variety of poker he plays.) Scott decides that he will attempt to take the crown rather than giving up his soul.

  • Reenchanting Catholic Literature
    Trying to Say ‘God’: Reenchanting Catholic Literature Welcome writers, artists, and lovers of literature to the 2017 “Trying to Say ‘God’ Literary Gathering”. We’ve added “2017” to the title because we plan to convene this gathering biennially as a way of featuring the art and writing of established, emerging, and aspiring artists of faith. The 2019 event will take place at St. Michael’s College of the University of Toronto, and will return to Notre Dame in 2021. We are delighted to welcome over 200 guests to this first gathering. If anyone suggests that there are no excellent Catholic writers today, just show them the variety of sessions at this gathering and the varied backgrounds of our many presenters.
