Faith in Fiction: Deep River by Shusaku Endo

Faith in Fiction will meet on Monday, January 30th at 7pm to discuss Deep River by Shusaku Endo.

Location - 803 Cattleya Ct. Louisville, KY 40207

“The river is the Ganges, where a group of Japanese tourists converge: Isobe, grieving the death of the wife he ignored in life; Kiguchi, haunted by war-time memories of the Highway of Death in Burma; Numada, recovering from a critical illness; Mitsuko, a cynical woman struggling with inner emptiness; and, the butt of her cruel interest, Otsu, a failed seminarian for whom the figure on the cross is a god of many faces. In this novel, the renowned Japanese writer Shusaku Endo reaches his ultimate religious vision.” — New Directions Publishing
