Know about the book -

Sacraments of Memory is written by Erin Michael Salius and published by University Press of Florida. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813072565 (ISBN 10) and 9780813072562 (ISBN 13).

This book argues that Catholicism informs a major genre of African American literature in ways and with a significance that has gone largely unrecognized. Sacraments of Memory thus proposes a new framework for understanding the revisionist aims of these works, contextualizing the skepticism they exhibit towards historical realism in terms of a Catholic counter-tradition in American literature that has long been associated with superstition and irrationality.
