Peter Manseau Book
Oct. 15th, 2005 11:55 pmVows: The Story of a Priest, a Nun, and Their Son
Peter Manseau, Free Press, 2005.
Our class will actually be meeting Manseau next week, so I thought I'd jot down notes so I won't look like an idiot in front of him.
( Notable Quotes... )
This book is new. MSNBC just had an article on the book yesterday. Well, it's more an excerpt than a book review. But if you have a few spare minutes, go to the article and read the excerpt. Manseau's simple, yet utterly deep, prose can only be experienced by reading—everything that long-form nonfiction should be. The article's excerpt isn't long, just the first chapter, a very quick read.
Guh, now that I'm thoroughly fangirling Manseau and his book, I have even less of a chance to think up intelligent questions to ask him on Monday's class :p
