Sham bam bamina! posted:Antivehicular recommended Death Comes for the Archbishop in the chat thread, and I am seconding it. I also recommend Ann Petry's The Street, which I have nominated for BotM a few times. Deeply moving and insightful books that are also very approachable. Death comes for the Archbishop is fantastic. It has a lot of appeals for genre readers: sweeping scope, action/adventure, deep history, and a spooky cave. My most common recommendation for approachable literature is Steinbeck. East of Eden is my favorite. It's so earnest, weird, and beautiful.

I'd say the tension is more between spiritual duty and material desires. There are a handful of horny priests like Padre Martinez, but they're among the closest things the novel has to villains.
