    -REVIEW ESSAY: Flaubert’s Fictional Faith: Although Gustave Flaubert professed to be a mystic who believed in nothing, in “A Simple Heart,” he gives us an unironic portrait of guileless faith that melds the hagiographer’s preoccupation with sanctity with the modern fictionist’s oblique incorporation of symbols. In so doing, the professed atheist purifies the cynical soul. (Joshua Hren, November 14th, 2020, Imaginative Conservative)
