| Thank you for your patience while we collect our thoughts to prepare an essay on this topic. While you wait, here is a sneak preview of reference material that will be incorporated into the coming essay: D. Bruce Lockerbie's Dismissing God: Modern Writers' Struggle against Religion is published by Baker Books. Alfred Kazin's God and the American Writer is published by Knopf. Flannery O'Connor's collection of essays, Mystery and Manners (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), contains several essays about the role of religion in her own writing, and in the work of others. Susan Ketchin's The Christ-Haunted Landscape: Faith and Doubt in Southern Fiction (University Press of Mississippi, 1994) takes its title from an O'Connor comment. Ketchin's book includes interviews with twelve living southern writers, along with a piece of their fiction.
