As Earth Without Water

from Cross Word Books · host Michele McAloon

Send us Fan MailMany have said Catholic literature has produced nothing new since Tolkien and O'Connor. First time novelist, Katy Carl in her beautifully written new book "As Earth Without Water" published by Wiseblood Books  shows Catholic writers are indeed producing new faithful creative masterpieces.  Ms. Carl's book is truly astounding in her literary prose and masterful story telling.  The story follows the lives of two artists as they come to know themselves and eventually come to know  God.  This weaving of a story between the reality of relationships and the journey toward faith is nothing short of beautiful.  One of the rare times when a reader can realize  that within a young artist, like Katy Carl a of literary genius is unfolding.    Highly recommend for a book club reading and discussion. Ms. Carl is part of the newly launched Masters of Fine Arts in Catholic and Creative writing at the University of St Thomas.  You can find a link to the program here.          ttps://www.stthom.edu/Academics/School-of-Arts-and-Sciences/Division-of-Liberal-Studies/Graduate/Master-of-Fine-Arts-in-Creative-Writing/   This beautiful book can be ordered from Wiseblood.com    @  https://www.wisebloodbooks.com/Yu can follow me on twitter @michelemcaloon1
