Father Hunt, best-known for his analysis of the works of John Updike and
John Cheever, is a distinguished authority on contemporary American
novelists.
His most recent books, John Cheever, The Hobgoblin Company of Love, and
John Updike and the Three Secret Things: Sex, Religion and Art, are cited as
essential to the understanding of these two authors.
((By now, George Hunt must be known to every reader interested in contemporary
American writing; there is no better guide to John Updike than Hunt's
John Updike and the Three Great Secret Things (BRD 1981). Now Hunt continues
his exploration of the artists of suburban America with the only useful
guide to the late Cheever." Choice
The Bellarmine Lecture Series by Distinguished Jesuit Scholars was
established in recognition of St. Robert Bellarmine, a sixteenth century
theologian, under whose spiritual patronage Fairfield University was founded.
