With admirable candor and sensitive insight, Monica Furlong traces the stages of growth that made Merton the unique figure that he was. She draws not only on his writings but on his voluminous correspondence and unpublished journals and on interviews with virtually everyone who knew him well, to present a fully sympathetic but nonadulatory portrait of this gifted and complex man.
