The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s
COPY ISBN
Elie (Berkley Ctr. for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown Univ.; The Life You Save May Be Your Own) seeks to understand the ways in which religious ideals find expression in literature, arts, music, and culture, particularly of the 1980s. The Life You Save May Be Your Own was a group portrait of four 20th-century Catholic writers, while his new work shows how many artists (musicians including Sinead O’Connor, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, the Neville Brothers, and Leonard Cohen; writers, including William Kennedy, Toni Morrison, and Czewslaw Milosz, along with visual artists such as Andy Warhol) brought important Catholic insights into their work during the ’80s. Readers interested in the subject might also consider Erika Doss’s Spiritual Moderns, although Elie casts a wider net.
VERDICT Readers may not always agree with Elie’s contentions in this fascinating, well-written book, but they will never be bored.
