CCIH welcomes a man of letters, Dr. Randy Boyagoda to explore the current state of the Catholic literary tradition and to situate the tradition as it is unfolding against other aesthetic and critical approaches to arts and fiction. Professor Boyagoda, who is a novelist, essayist, critic, and biographer, has titled his paper *How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Flannery O'Connor: The Politics of Catholic Literature Today.* After he presents his remarks, four scholars will then briefly respond-LUC doctoral students Lydia Craig and Lyle Enright; and Professors Farrell O'Gorman (Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina) and Jasper Cragwall (LUC). The floor will then be open to all for what promises to be a rousing and substantive conversation.
