I often think of Walter Miller's 1960 novel, A Canticle for Leibowitz, which is now forgotten but I believe to be very important still. One thing that I remember is that people were not allowed by the Church (which is the basis for the story) because there was a part of these monsters that was still human.
What I meant to say was: not allowed by the Church to kill these mutant monsters spawned after the nuclear attack (which is the basis for the story)...
Can you clarify? The people were not allowed to do what?
“...A Canticle for Leibowitz, which is now forgotten but I believe to be very important still.”
Not in all quarters. I know a tenured professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America who teaches this novel every year to his incoming freshmen.
