The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Jesus and Jihad
Joe and I discussed earlier not merely the fact that this series of Christian apocalyptic books has such a wide readership, but that it has supplanted the Silhouette Romances as the most purchased set of paperback titles in the US. I mentioned to Joe that this shift itself presented a question for Gramscian investigation. Joe adds that we must not fall into the romance of believing the readers of these books represent some utopian possibility, but that Gramsci would have read such popular materials to mark a decline of the nation.
