  Spiritual conversions figure heavily in such novels as Thomas Pynchon's Vineland and Toni Morrison's Paradise . What connects such varied works is that their convert-characters are disenchanted with secularism yet apprehensive of dogmatic religiosity. This work is a study to identify a body of contemporary fiction in such terms.
