He plays alternative rock.
He draws offbeat cartoons.
He writes about wine.
He wears a scapular.
Meet Matthew Lickona, a thirtysomething wine columnist, occasional cartoonist, avid moviegoer, fan of alternative rock . . . and devout Catholic who wears a scapular, a small woolen garment traditionally worn by monks and said to protect the wearer from harm. Lickona is a unique and singular voice of a new generation of believers who combine a premodern faith with a postmodern sensibility. His spiritual coming-of-age story reveals him to be a prodigiously talented writer who embraces much of modern culture yet finds consuming joy in celebrating "the ancient treasures of the faith."
"Readers will find themselves captivated by this winsome story of a soul." --Publishers Weekly
"A chronicle of both the questions he has had about his faith and the joy and sustenance he derives from it." --U.S. News & World Report
"Lickona writes in precise, sometimes rollicking language that is charged with a taut energy." --Image
