A Comic Catholic Novel...

And this, in the end, is why Oregon Confettis so refreshing. It represents an edgier, rowdier brand of religious literature. It takes on today’s shoddiest secular ideologies and shows the dreariness of succumbing to them, but also the appeal of making the sacrifices necessary to leave them behind. Instead of addressing a nonbelieving audience “which puts little stock in either grace or the devil,” as Flannery O’Connor put it, [Lee] Oser aims at a faithful subculture likely to share, or at the very least to sympathize with, his basic views on art, sex, and religion.
