Description: "If Thomas Merton had been a writer and not a monk, we would never have heard of him. If Thomas Merton had been a monk and not a writer, we would never have heard of him." So begins acclaimed author Mary Gordon in this probing, candid exploration of the man who became the face and voice of mid-twentieth-century American Catholicism.

Gordon documents her exploration of Merton through his books - the ups and downs of the experience, areas of disagreement and sympathy, of annoyance and ultimately, deep connection.

It is a profoundly personal view of one of the great spiritual figures of our age, by an interpreter who reveals a great admiration and fascination with his life and work.

"If Merton is to remain a living voice, it is from such honest and steadfast devotion as Mary Gordon's On Thomas Merton".
