![]() ![]() Janice Walker: Why make the point of classifying the Fellowship for the Performing Arts as specifically “Christian”? What is lacking in secular theater productions that attempt, like FPA, to explore the themes of “conflict and disintegration?” The hunger for Truth is indeed universal however, the receptivity of a diverse audience to the Truth depends on one thing: you have to put on one helluva good show. He demonstrates a critical understanding of his audience that is rare (if not unique) among self-identified Christian performers. ![]() ![]() But McLean goes further, and in his theatrical excellence he conveys the message all the more powerfully. McLean's seemingly inexhaustible drive to share the Gospel manifests itself on stage, in recordings, and in print. (which included your humble interviewer) that he "worked for 'Enemy.'" Paradoxically, precisely by positioning himself firmly within the service of Christian theatrical arts, McLean has liberated himself and his production company, The Fellowship for the Performing Arts from the restrictions and stigmas of that genre.

That point in the story was so compelling, (im refering tonthe encounter woth cameron) it made reading the entire novel so meaningful, but then the autho. He made Petey face the questions about how his choices simply reflected his insecurities and were in fact very unconcious life decisions. However, To my suprise, Jeff erno decides to make Petey confront the real questions, the tough facts about his choices. it was bearable, it was YA, its fiction, it was a insecure main character and i didnt have to take it too seriously. The book also showed poor Petey defending his choices throighout, using his own rational, which is clearly born out of a sense of low self worth, he makes matt a god like figure. ![]() ![]() Review 1: Petey is in a subservient relationship with dom Matt throughout the book. ![]() ![]() Throughout the course of his ordeal battling esophageal cancer, Hitchens adamantly and bravely refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with both eyes open. ![]() As he would later write in the first of a series of award-winning columns for Vanity Fair, he suddenly found himself being deported "from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady."

Fun story: in 2011 I served Wally Lamb wine at a community art event in Willimantic, CT. ![]() And the numerous Connecticut references (so many UConn basketball shoutouts) are great! Wally Lamb’s third novel doesn’t live up to the perfection of She’s Come Undone or I Know This Much is True, but it is still an engrossing and worthwhile read.
