Scandal of Reading | Season Two | Ep. 4 D.L. Mayfield

Austin Carty asks Jessica Hooten Wilson and Claude Atcho what books started their love of reading! Then, Author D. L. Mayfield discusses Dorothy Day’s book, The Long Loneliness. Why would someone as community-focused as Dorothy Day write a book with a title like “The Long Loneliness?” How did her Catholicism influence her work in the Catholic Worker Movement? And what example has Dorothy Day left for us? Join us for this podcast and be a part of the Scandal of Reading!

I loved this interview. Thank you for now allowing comments on such videos. My only complaint: all of your videos have me going straight to my credit card to buy books. 😂
