1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Complex but readable By Yukio This is a very very good book. The only thing that keeps it from being a five is that I have empathy for those who do not have a substantial background in philosophy (particularly Nietzsche) and can keep up with all the subtle and not-so-subtle allusions. It also helps that I studied to be a Jesuit and have my doctorate in Ethics. Without these the book is a four; with these it is a five. I look forward to more from Dr. Tasey in the future.

A Clash of Worldviews By Ratonis Book Review: “Jenna’s Flaw” by Lee Tasey (2015, Booklocker.com) Full disclosure: I am personally acquainted with the author, which creates something of a dilemma. I could offer uncritical praise, in the interest of helping to generate readership, or I can offer an honest critique containing positive assessment along with some misgivings I have. I will take the latter approach here, as I believe this is the most responsible, and friendly service a review can take. Author Tasey utilizes the personal experience of his protagonist, Carl Sorensen, as a vehicle for unfolding a commentary on the intellectual crisis of western civilization (his novel is dedicated to Western Civilization). Sorensen is a graduate student committed to the skeptical outlooks of dominant western thinkers, most notably Frederick Nietzsche, and is undertaking work toward a Ph.D. in Nebraska (Tasey’s actual location in life). Through his meeting a strange young woman, Jenna, Carl begins to doubt the power of the modern secular traditions grounded in the western Enlightenment. Jenna is very strange, and as the story progresses we come to understand that she exhibits signs of actual demon possession. Hence, Sorensen’s enlightenment “anti-supernaturalism” is challenged as he himself begins to experience strange phenomena, in response to which he takes the risk of consulting with Catholic priests. Although Sorensen’s worldview outlook is left in an ambiguous state at novel’s end, we get the sense that his experiences (which includes participation in an exorcism of Jenna) have led him to doubt the materialist dogmas of modern philosophy. Along the way, the narrative includes potshots at contemporary academic culture, especially the exploitation of adjunct teachers, and other brief references to popular culture, specifically rock music and specified real-life authors (e.g. Malachi Martin). Through all this, the vitalizing current is the confrontation of worldviews—the confident, boorish skepticism represented by Sorensen’s professor of philosophy Dr. Parsons, and what Sorensen actually experiences through his association with Jenna and his quest to understand the larger reality of lives not sequestered in the hall of academic presuppositions. Also fueling the storyline is the mystery of the death of a celebrated football player Kenny Winslow, whose apparent suicide death has shocked the public and lacks any coherent or plausible reason. The mystery of Jenna, Winslow, and the worldview confrontation provide the strength of Lee Tasey’s narrative and sustain reader interest throughout. And that is, of course, the bottom line—does the story keep you going? For me, the response is yes, I remained interested throughout. Nevertheless, I have some misgivings or questions concerning the author’s approach. Tasey’s descriptions of the educational, sports, and physical environment surrounding Lincoln, Nebraska are likely to prove problematic to people who actually live there. His description of the Nebraska capital city is somewhat grim and grimey, and the environmental background is confusing because of his integration of actual places with imaginary, fictionalized institutions and places. Kenny Winslow, for example, is the most celebrated football player in the state and city, but he is not a Cornhusker who played for the University of Nebraska, an institution cited in the novel. Rather he played for a fictional “Nebraska State University” and the “Bisons,” and it is the Bisons who are noted for having played epochal contests with the Miami University Hurricanes. A reader, especially one who lives in Lincoln, must wonder what is going on here. I understand “suspension of disbelief,” but if a real location (Lincoln and the university there) is the arena for the novel’s drama, one has to ask if it really works to introduce something to that environment that does not, in fact exist and whose activities stretch credulity. Also, there seems to be a lack of clarity about this fictional institution, which lies outside Lincoln itself, and appears as “Nebraska State University” at the beginning of the novel but is referenced as “Nebraska State College” later on.There are other awkward integrations of real-world places and fictional towns and institutions (e.g. there is no “Slippery Rock” town in Nebraska; the actual town of that name is located in Pennsylvania). These do not fracture the strength of Lee Tasey’s basic story, and maybe he has good reasons for this mix, but I wonder at its necessity. If anything, it seems an unnecessary distraction from the central issues that he wants to communicate. An author’s note concerning his approach might be helpful.A novel that has as its theme the clash of worldviews and the vulnerability of our civilization under the crisis of Truth is an intriguing project. Author Lee Tasey is intensely focused on the life of the mind and how (to borrow a phrase from Richard Weaver’s classic book) “ideas have consequences.” The novel left me wondering if perhaps we might be hearing more about the academic adventures of Carl Sorensen in stories yet to come.
