–Chicago Tribune
“Seldom has this long-familiar figure . . . emerged so fresh and challenging from under so masterful a hand.”
–The New York Review of Books
“A brilliant biography . . . Garry Will’s agile mind matches the agility of St. Augustine’s. He presents his subject with candor and with empathy.”
