From Dave's Podcatch.com, I found the Incomparable podcast talking about the stunning 1996 novel The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell . I read that book soon after it first came out, because Northern Ohio Live, where I was editor, got to excerpt a bit of it. Russell lives near Cleveland, close to the Jesuit university John Carroll University, my alma mater.
