With each new book or series, she not only reinvents herself, but reinvents whole new arenas of fiction. From the Vampire Chronicles, to her Christ the Lord books, to the world of angels.

My conversation with Anne Rice:

Vampires and Angles and Werewolves, oh my!

Few writers have move as easily between genres as Anne Rice. My last conversation with her was about religion, faith and then about Angels. Now she moves into the realm of werewolves. A field already very crowded; but she still brings her own quite unique perspective. During a time of all to real dangers that face us each day, she gives us a reason to escape into another world, in her new novel The Wolf Gift.

Vampires and Angels and God, Oh My!

For over thirty years, Anne Rice has captivated us with her imaginative faction. She has become one of the most beloved novelists of our time. With each new book or series, she not only reinvents herself, but reinvents whole new arenas of fiction. From the Vampire Chronicles, to her Christ the Lord books, to a new series of metaphysical thrillers about the world of angels, including her latest Of Love and Evil, Anne Rice continues to redefine some of the very ideas about faith in America.

Literary Catholics

We've had two guests recently whose conversion to Catholicism is both surprising and literary.  Both came to their faith late in life, yet from very different places.

First Anne Rice who, long before "Twilight" introduced us to vampires, now turns her attention to Angel Time as the "personification" of her new found faith.

Next, Mary Karr, who jump started a renaissance in memoir with "The Liars' Club" and then "Cherry" talks in her latest memoir Lit, about her apocalyptic childhood and outlaw adolescence and how she overcame her feral upbringing to become an esteemed poet and professor and found the Catholic faith.
