A Cormac McCarthy novel tore my parish book club apart
A priest or parishioner writes in America Magazine that a Cormac McCarthy novel split a Catholic parish book club into opposing camps. The piece describes how the novel's violence and bleakness provoked sharply divided reactions among the group's members, turning a routine reading pick into a heated argument about faith, morality and what belongs in church discussion groups.
Why now: Readers are drawn to the relatable clash between serious secular literature and a church community's comfort zone.
