Paperback, HarperCollins Publishers, 1992, ISBN # 0060609362
The author describes the devastating impact of his father's alcoholism and suicide on his personal life as husband, father, writer, and minister Publishers Weekly,In the third volume of his autobiography ( The Sacred Journey ; Now and Then ) Buechner speaks in a sensitive and quietly humorous voice as he describes crises in his life: the suicide of his father when the author was 10; the anorexia of his teenaged daughter. Details of other demanding situations, less critical, provoke merriment as well as thought. As a lecturer at a Unitarian Universalist divinity school, Buechner encountered atheistic students preparing for the ministry, along with a feminist who opposed studying King Lear because the drama features women in subservient roles. In a book that stands out as uncommonly rewarding and inspirational, the author convinces us that secrets kept buried can cause harm. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
