Called out of Darkness A spiritual confession

Rice, Anne 1941-2021

Called out of Darkness A spiritual confession Anne Rice - U.S.A. Alfred A. Knopf 2008 - 245tr. Hardcover 22 cm

An intimate memoir of Anne Rice's Catholic girlhood, her unmaking as a devout believer, and her return to the Church--what she calls a decision of the heart. Moving from her New Orleans childhood in the 1940s and '50s, with all its religious devotions, through how she slowly lost her belief in God, the book recounts Anne's years in radical Berkeley, where she wrote Interview with the Vampire (a lament for her lost faith) and where she came to admire the principles of secular humanists. She writes about loss and alienation (her mother's drinking, the deaths of her young daughter and later, her husband)
