Argues that Catholic culture was transformed when products of the "immigrant church", largely inspired by converts like Dorothy Day, launched a variety of spiritual, communitarian, and literary experiments. James Fisher also explores the life and works of Thomas A. Dooley and Jack Kerouac to show that their experiences signaled a new Catholic appreciation of the American tradition of creative freedom.
