Description
Acclaimed author Mary Gordon explores the life and work of Thomas Merton in this deeply personal and probing biography. Through his letters, journals, autobiography, and fiction, Gordon sheds light on the complex dialogue between Merton's monk and writer selves.
Merton's inner conflict is revealed through rich excerpts from his own writing, producing an intimate portrait of a man who lived life with imperfectability, striving for praise as a man of God. This nuanced exploration offers a unique perspective on mid-twentieth-century American Catholicism.
