Reviews

"It's now apparent that Merton, already celebrated as an autobiographer and Christian contemplative, was also one of the great American letter-writers of the century.... A well-rounded monument to a well-rounded man."
Kirkus Reviews
"Highly articulate and quietly inspirational."
Publishers Weekly
"This volume is a necessary addition to the library of Merton scholars and students because it reveals aspects of the monk that are seldom seen in literature apart from his letters.... Highly recommended."
Gary Young, Booklist
