Ron Hanen, "Exiles"

There's an interesting conversation at InsideCatholic.com about Ron Hansen's new novel, Exiles. We're not done with the novel yet, so we're not in position to evaluate the comments, but we're very impressed that Hansen himself joins in a conversation that often isn't very nice to him. One of the discussion's central themes is what constitutes Catholic fiction, so it should be of interest to any Mahwahvian.
