The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage, by Paul Elie

3.0

Penetrating overall, but I think the author rather forced the connections between these four American Catholics, Dorothy Day in particular being somewhat of an odd man out, in regard to age and her non-literary pursuits. I also wondered at times what the author was choosing to leave out; his dismissal of Merton's death almost in passing as an accident without examining other theories struck me in particular.
