James Carroll, Warburg in Rome: A Novel (Boston & New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014) ("Padre Antonio--Pere Antoine--had been a young priest in Paris during the time of Dreyfus and had he not himself cheered on, if from the side, those rabid monks and clerics who spouted Jew-hating slogans? Death to the Dreyfusards, damn the deicide people, down with the Jews! Even as a young cur'e, Antonine understood the ways in which anti-Semitism was useful to the Church, a way to reconnect with the French masses. That he had seen nothing amiss in this--weren't the Jews the enemies of Christ?--was now a source of wrenching shame. At last it was clear where it all had led. In die judicii, libera nos Domine. On the day of judgment, Good Lord deliver us." Id. at 66.).
Don DeLillo, Zero K: A Novel (New York: Scribner, 2016) (From the book jacket: "'We are born without choosing to be. Should we have to die in the same manner? Isn't it a human glory to refuse to accept a certain fate?' These are the questions that haunt the novel and its memorable characters. . . . Don DeLillo's seductive, spectacularly observed and brilliant new novel weighs the darkness of the world--terrorism, floods, fires, famine, plague--against the beauty and humanity of everyday life, love, awe, 'the intimate touch of earth and sun.'").

Jennifer Haigh, Heat and Light: A Novel (New York: Ecco, 2016) ("Long ago, in the navy, Rich Devlin learned his place in the world, his basic and inescapable smallness. Military life taught you the truth. He turned nineteen abroad the SS Roosevelt--the Big Stick, they called it, a ship so massive it seemed to be standing still as it carried six thousand men, three times the population of Bakerton, to the Persian Gulf, a distant and desolate place that mattered for one reason only. When he thinks of it now, he imagines the Big Stick gliding across a vast sea of other people's money, a thought that didn't occur to him at the time. . . . We are all sailors." Id. at 427.).
