About this book
Art and literature are in the business of enchantment. When we are enchanted, we are captivated by some part of lifeâwhether it be the fragile charm of the week-old infant or the force of a waterfall that takes our breath away. Enchantmentâlike the vital energy of Erosâdefies definition. Poetry more often finds the words for this phenomenon. This book opens a window into the rich writings of Catholic authors during the 20th centuryâincluding Evelyn Waugh, James Joyce, Flannery O'Connor, Graham Greene and othersâwho found the mesmerizing presence of God in an often disenchanted world.
