Is Literature More than a Matter of Taste? A Public Conversation
About this Event
Join Us for a Book Launch and Public Converstion
What does it mean to be a reader of good taste? How can we grow in prudential judgment and spiritual discernment while delighting in the books we get lost in? And can looking at the world through the “million windows” of the “house of fiction” really elevate or transfigure the lives we lead?
Join us at 10:00 am on Satuday, August 29 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (Atrium) for a lively public conversation between Joshua Hren, Colleen Hutt (Well-Read Mom) and Bishop Donald J. Hying (Madison) to discuss these questions which lie at the heart of Joshua Hren’s extraordinary new book, More than a Matter of Taste: The Moral Imagination and the Spirit of Literature (Word on Fire Luminor, 2026).
The event will be preceded by Mass at 9:00 am in the Cathedral (Bishop Don Hying, celebrant) and followed by a light reception of food and drink. Copies of Dr. Hren's book will be available for purchase.
