Ignatius Press has just released a unique, engaging new work of fiction by acclaimed writer Mary Eberstadt, The Loser Letters, that offers a wickedly witty satire on the conversion of a young adult Christian to atheism. Through the letters of advice from
A.F. Christian, an enthusiastic convert to the cause of the “new atheists”, Eberstadt deftly exposes the flaws in their views. Using the language of the pop culture to hilarious effect, she offers at the same time a spirited defense of Christianity.

Echoing C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Dante’s Divine Comedy, Eberstadt takes aim at bestsellers like The God Delusion and God Is Not Great with the sexual libertinism their authors advocate. In her loveable and articulate tragic-comic heroine, A.F. Christian, Dawkins, Hitchens and the other “Brights” have met their match.
Michael Novak calls the book “A wise, funny, and winning book.”
George Weigel says that “Mary Eberstadt is one smart cookie. If you don't believe me, ask Satan.”
