Are duty and desire opposing forces?

One part memoir, one part literary excursion, one part ode to the value and beauty of stories,The Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life contemplates the complex intersection of human psychology, literary education, and Christian spirituality, revealing how the conflict between what we want to do and what we ought to do is the dividing line of every enduring story—including our own—and what we can do about it.
