Synopsis

Religious Affiliation Breakdown examines the complex relationship between religious identity and LGBTQ+ identity.  It explores how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate their spiritual lives both within and outside traditional religious frameworks, considering factors like denominational policies and community support.  Understanding this negotiation is critical for fostering inclusive environments. The book analyzes demographic variations across different faith traditions, levels of religious attendance, and affiliation retention rates among LGBTQ+ individuals.  For example, minority stress theory helps explain the mental health consequences of religious rejection. The study draws from diverse fields such as sociology, religious studies, and psychology, offering a holistic perspective.  Structured in three parts, the book first clarifies core concepts, then delves into specific faith traditions to analyze LGBTQ+ affiliation trends.  Finally, it explores the impact of religious attendance on LGBTQ+ well-being, using quantitative data and qualitative insights. The book's comparative analysis across diverse faith traditions and demographic subgroups offers a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing religious affiliation among LGBTQ+ individuals.

Gratefully & affectionately -...

Gráinne Hurley

Between 1958 and 1976, the Irish American writer Mary Lavin had sixteen stories published in The New Yorker, after J. D. Salinger introduced her to the magazine. It was a prolific time for Lavin, helped in no small part by her close working relationship with her chief editor there, Rachel MacKenzie. They wrote nearly four-hundred letters to each other, the topics of which ranged from story edits to holiday plans, windfalls and legal troubles, mutual literary friends and their love of gardening, promotions and health emergencies. Within a year of working together, they were ending their letters with 'love', 'gratefully' and 'affectionately'. Lavin was soon offered the magazine's highly coveted first-reading agreement.

Gráinne Hurley's impressive debut, Gratefully & Affectionately: Mary Lavin & The New Yorker, draws extensively from Lavin and MacKenzie's letters as well as other material related to the revered magazine. It explores the collaborative relationship between this writer and her editor, Lavin's own writing process, the inner workings and editing procedures of The New Yorker and the process of publishing a story from manuscript to print during its heyday. The book also reveals Lavin's professional dealings with agents and publishers and her friendships with prominent literary figures including Eudora Welty, Frank O'Connor, William Maxwell and John McGahern.

Gratefully & Affectionately offers fascinating insight into the lives and careers of two mid-20th-century women, working on either side of the Atlantic and inhabiting the small but hallowed world of literary publishing. It reveals how their fortunate union and combined love for the written word produced some of Lavin's finest work.
