Paul Elie — Faith Fired by Literature (Feb 20, 2014)

from On Being · host On Being Studios

Art, life, and religious faith converge in Paul Elie's unusual biography of the intersecting stories of four literary Americans of the 20th century: Trappist monk Thomas Merton, social activist Dorothy Day, and fiction writers Walker Percy and Flannery O'Connor. "Certain books, certain writers," Elie says, "reach us at the center of ourselves." See more at www.onbeing.org/program/faith-fired-literature/99
