Hourihan, Paul. The Death of Thomas Merton, a Novel: A Confessional Portrayal of the Last Day in the Life of the Famous Catholic Monk and Writer. Redding, CA: Vedantic Shores Press, 2003.   Hourihan is very forthright when he declares that no supporter of Thomas Merton will like this book...

Kidd,Sue Monk. The Mermaid Chair. Viking Peguin, 2005. I do not think the thought is an original one...

 Robinson, Marilynne. Gilead. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2004. Words almost fail to capture the essence of this challenging and well-written book.

Wilson, Gregory. The Stained Glass Jungle. Garden City: Doubleday & Co., 1962. This really is not a good time for me to be writing this...
