"At a time when hope is too often dismissed as a utopian ideal, Hinojosa argues that this virtue is, in fact, a worldly practice, one that engages not only the future but the present and past as well. Her readings of modern historical fiction within the framework of Jürgen Moltmann and others show how genuine hope makes a difference in the lives of characters and readers alike, enabling us to participate in God's mission of love and justice."

"Hinojosa deftly navigates the fields of literary theory, Marxist thought, and Christian theology to appraise the hollowed-out accounts of history and hope in much contemporary fiction. Novels as disparate as The English Patient and Parable of the Sower come under scrutiny for circumventing "the historic character of reality," a phrase from Hinojosa's primary interlocutor, Jürgen Moltmann. These and other works manifest hope as ironic detachment or triumph over time or presumptuous utopia, while Marilynne Robinson's fiction, in contrast, discloses the congruity of history and hope as her characters experience transformation within, not in spite of, the brokenness of the past, present, and their longed-for futures. For specialists perhaps, this book nonetheless speaks to the urgency of our cultural moment in which the myriad crises we face cry out for a practical, actionable hope by which we can claim that another world-of wounds healed, of violence reckoned with-is possible."
