CHAPTER

I'm Not a Suspension of Disbelief, but I Can't Believe That

"I'm not a suspension of disbelief, which I certainly indulge when I became religious," he says. "What am I asked to believe as a Christian? I'm asked to believe literally that a man born of a woman was divine and that on the occasion of his death, he was raised from the dead." His favorite novel is Mario Vargas-Yosin's The Feast of the Goat; Chariots of Fire is his wife Linda Lowry's favorite movie. He also likes Harold Abrams' films about upper class British society.
