 Devotion and its Aftermath
A review by Charles King  May 2004

To give one’s self to another or to an idea is generally a virtue. Indeed, most notions of love, passion, and intellectual or religious conviction rest to some degree on subsuming the self as a means of achieving greater, deeper benefits. But what is the ultimate cost of devotion? Love’s endings are not all happy. Conviction that becomes obsession can have tragic or even fearful consequences. Minds and times change, ideas and their contexts evolve, hearts and words are broken, and sometimes mended. Here are three new novels that touch on the cost and rewards of human devotion.
