At least, by lovers of good fiction. Let’s qualify “good” fiction. I mean fiction like Tolkien’s, Greene’s, O’Conner’s, Percy’s, yes, but I also mean fiction written for what is called the “young adult” market; i.e., adventure, romance, mystery, or maturation themes and such. That’s also good fiction.

CatholicFiction.net has recently been purchased and re-launched by that ambitious new Catholic publishing group, Tuscany Press. The website is wonderfully
easy to navigate and very attractive. Features like “Classic Wednesdays” and “Contemporary Sundays” are very helpful. How many people out there would love
to read a new modern review of a classic novel like, say, The Moviegoer, for example, before deciding to purchase it. Quite a few, actually, especially among younger readers. Or maybe discover what’s out there today in newly published Catholic fiction? And the reviewers are published writers themselves, usually pretty well-known, like Arthur Powers, Joseph O’Brien, and others.

Readers seeking a reference point for good fiction, old and new, now have a place to begin.
