THE LOSER LETTERS A Comic Tale of Life, Death, and Atheism by MARY EBERSTADT

Description

A wickedly witty satire, THE LOSER LETTERS chronicles the conversion of a young adult Christian to atheism. With modern humor, Everstadt’s lovable and articulate tragicomic heroine A.F. Christian’s open letters to the "spokesmen of the New Atheism" explain her reasons for rejecting God and the logical consequences that follow that choice. Along the way she offers pithy advice to well-known contemporary atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, in the hope of helping them win over more Christians. Amid the many current books arguing for or against religion, Mary Eberstadt’s book is truly unique: a black comedy about theism and atheism that is simultaneously a rollicking defense of Christianity.
