Dennis and Darren J. N. Middleton have curated a wide-ranging discussion of Shūsaku Endō's final novel, \u003ci\u003eDeep River\u003c\/i\u003e, in which four careworn Japanese tourists journey to India's holy Ganges in search of spiritual as well as existential renewal. \u003ci\u003eNavigating Deep River\u003c\/i\u003e evaluates and probes Endō's decades-long search to find the words to explain Transcendent Mystery, the difficult tension between faith and doubt, the purpose of spiritual journeys, and the challenges posed by the reality of religious pluralism in an increasingly diverse world. The contributors, including Van C. Gessel who translated \u003ci\u003eDeep River\u003c\/i\u003e into English in 1994, offer an engaged and patient exploration of this major text in world fiction, and this anthology promises to deepen academic appreciation for Endō, within and beyond the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark W.
