I would be grateful for help removing "link rot" and "lengthy quotation banners." I am technically feeble, though I think I can succeed in eliminating excess quotations and just keeping the citations/notes. Very much value neutral perspective on the page. Thank you.

Suggested revision for "lengthy quotation" problem:

Novels[edit]

Out of What Chaos[edit]

Set on the West Coast during Bush II's first term, Out of What Chaos (Scarith], 2007) showcases the escapades of Rex and The Brains as they break into the Portland rock scene, record their first CD, and tour from Vancouver to LA behind their chart-topping single, “F U. I Just Want To Get My Rocks Off.” In the end, the boys must make a decision about how to live. Literary critic and theorist, Dr. Jean-Michel Rabaté calls Oser a "worthy debater" and praises Out of What Chaos, saying he "enjoyed it fully."

The Oracles Fell Silent[edit]

Oser's second novel follows its predecessor by exploring the intersection of pop culture and religion. The young narrator, Richard Bellman, recounts his experience as personal secretary to a sixties' rock legend, Sir Ted Pop.

Reviews of The Oracles[edit]

Early reviews praised the novel, while focusing on Oser's attempt to address contemporary culture from a Catholic point of view.

Oregon Confetti[edit]

Pushing forty, Portland art dealer Devin Adams has been so successful conning the local Philistines that he can no longer tell actual art from the highly profitable junk that supports his living. But the sudden appearance on his doorstep of the great painter John Sun, bearing a strange child, changes all that, confronting Devin with the hard facts of his life, from his lusts and obsessions to his own small part in a mass psychosis that denies the existence of love.

Reviews of Oregon Confetti[edit]

Critic Anthony Domestico listed the novel among Commonweal Magazine's Top Books of 2017, saying "Antic, absurdist, comic, and Catholic, this ribald novel grows out of the Evelyn Waugh and John Kennedy Toole tradition."  In other reviews of Oregon Confetti, Oser's Catholic vantage point remained a source of interest and contention. In October 2018, critic Joseph Pearce listed Oregon Confetti in his list of "The Best of Contemporary Christian Fiction."

Interviews for Oregon Confetti[edit]

Oser has been interviewed in the following: Crisis Magazine, Dappled Things, Law and Liberty.

Old Enemies: A Satire

Moses Shea, the narrator of Oser’s fourth novel, enters the media-big tech-higher education complex, plunging into the self-satire that is contemporary America.

Reviews of Old Enemies

Early reviews have praised the novel. [note] https://lawliberty.org/book-review/hope-in-the-ruins/ [note] https://voegelinview.com/civilization-is-slow-hard-work-lee-oser-old-enemies-review/    Brian Osgood (talk) 01:48, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
