At the request of Father U.M.Lang, we announce that the presentation of the English version of Martin Mosebach's book "The Heresy of Formlessness" will take place on December 7, in St Wilfrid's Hall at the London Oratory.
"The Heresy of Formlessness", for those who do not know it yet, is a collection of essays on the liturgy and its recent reform not from the perspective of a theologian, but from the perspective of a literary writer (excerpt here). The book helped to bring the debate on the liturgy to a wider public in Germany.
Martin Mosebach, who will be present at the event, is a well-known and award-winning German author who has published novels, stories, and collections of poems; he has also written scripts for several films, opera libretti, theater, and radio plays. He is a regular contributor to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and also writes on art and literature for other newspapers and journals. Most recently, Mosebach has been awarded the Großer Literaturpreis der Bayerischen Akademie der Schönen Künste.
