A review by johncrwarner
Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander by Thomas Merton

5.0

Fragments from his journal which show an interesting take on contemporary events to his writing. I heard loud and strong the "music behind the words" so the events he responds to are universalised and I felt I knew how he might respond to current events. It will function in two ways in my collection as a book to re read and a "toilet book" - a book to take to the toilet as the short extracts are very suitable for being on the toilet.
