Book 88: "The Body of This" by Andrew McNabb


     Andrew McNabb is an energetic and talented writer from Portland who has been on "What Are You Reading?" His book, "The Body of This" is a collection of spiritual stories revealing the complex architecture of people and their places.   The stories all take place in Portland, Maine.  And, although McNabb's Catholic faith resonates throughout much of his writings, these stories are aimed at a much wider and more inclusive audience.
     One reviewer aptly describes Andrew and his stories this way:  "McNabb is a good storyteller, with a gift for bringing to the foreground significant details that illuminate his characters' hearts and minds . . . they linger in your memory long after you have given the book to a friend."
     McNabb's stories involve mature topics and situations that some
                                                      readers may find challenging.
