What to expect
Robert Coles first met Dorothy Day over thirty-five years ago when, as a medical student, he worked in one of her Catholic Worker soup kitchens. He remained close to this inspiring and controversial woman until her death in 1980. His book, an intellectual and psychological portrait, confronts candidly the central puzzles of her life: the sophisticated Greenwich Village novelist and reporter who converted to Catholicism; the single mother who raised her child in a most unorthodox “family”; her struggles with sexuality, loneliness, and pride; her devout religious conservatism coupled with radical politics. This intense portrait is based on many years of conversation and correspondence, as well as tape-recorded interviews.
Critics Review
“A rich harvest…For those who are not familiar with Day, Coles is the best introducer around.”
“Day’s compelling point of view is expressed in story format in an unconventional biography that is appropriate for the sensual woman many consider a saint.”
“An unconventional biography that is appropriate for the sensual woman many consider a saint.”
“Coles captures the mystique of Dorothy Day superbly.”
