The third volume of Merton’s journals chronicles his struggle of reconcile his new celebrity with his desire for a life of silence and contemplation.
Already a bestselling author and celebrity, the Merton of this volume writes candidly of his yearning for silence and contemplation, of conflicts with monastic routine, and his exploration of Zen, existentialism, Marxism, and Latin American Culture.
