katerintree's review against another edition
2.0
Ostensibly Cole is a psychiatrist - this is troubling, as he seems to have zero understanding of the Catholic religion to which Day dedicated her life & which was the greatest influence on her. He makes no apparent attempt to understand it, either, preferring the obtuse & critical view of an outsider. He rambles, name-drops, projects his issues onto Day, & chokes the book with notes & digression.
To anyone interested in Day - truly Dorothy Day & her *whole* life, *whole* self - I'd suggest reading some of her own work, or basically any other biography ever.
If you like surface-level analysis & armchair academic nonsense, or enjoy any opportunity to bash the Catholic Church, then by all means waste some time on this.
