Kevin Starr masterfully draws our attention to the role of American Catholic non-fiction in the flowering of Catholic poetry and fiction in the United States during the dynamic but troubled twentieth century. Noting the rich and varied works of Catholic scientists and historians, publishers and philosophers, Starr suggests convincingly that these works provided texture and color to the literary imagination of Catholic novelists, poets and short story writers during that unique time. With the sure hand and rich palette that we have come to expect from the author of Americans and the California Dream, Starr conveys the atmosphere of American Catholic intellectual and cultural life as it was at mid-century.
Rev. Michael Sherwin, O.P.
University of Freibourg

A tour de force that creatively and comprehensively recreates the Catholic culture of the 50s.
Judge John T. Noonan
United States Circuit Judge

Kevin Starr’s many articles and books, including his Americans and the California Dream series, have won him a Guggenheim Fellowship, membership
in the Society of American Historians, the Presidential Medallion from USC, the Centennial Medal from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard, and the Humanities Medal from the National Endowment of the Humanities.
