James Carroll is the author of Practicing Catholic, which Hans Kung calls "Brilliantly written, passionate, and vivid." Carroll is also the author of ten novels and five previous works of non-fiction, including the National Book Award winning An American Requiem, the New York Times bestselling Constantine's Sword, now an acclaimed documentary, and House of War, which won the first PEN-Galbraith Award. Carroll's column appears weekly in The Boston Globe, and he is a regular contributor to The Daily Beast. His writing, and his long work toward Jewish-Christian-Muslim reconciliation, make him a leading voice on the problem of religion and violence—the subject of his work-in-progress. James Carroll is Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at Suffolk University in Boston, where he lives with his wife, the novelist Alexandra Marshall.
