More Rosen

Christine Rosen (see next item down) has a reflection in today's WSJ OpinionJournal on the writing of spirtual memoirs. Here's a snatch:

"For whatever reason, many writers of spiritual memoir find themselves unable to move beyond anger or an eagerness to use their work as a springboard for a broader condemnation of people of faith. Writers of memoir generally must be true to their experience, of course, but spiritual memoirists face an especially daunting task. The faith they describe is not theirs alone--it is shared by many. That makes writing in good faith all the more challenging."
