The Inside of the Cup

A renowned American novelist who is regarded as one of the foremost figures in the literary genre of naturalism, Winston Churchill often wrote about the clashes between upper-class and working-class groups in the highly stratified communities of New England. In The Inside of the Cup, Churchill turns his remarkably incisive eye upon the subject of religion, exploring the way that one Midwestern community is torn apart—and brought together again—by the church.
