74995X1 First Edition. HarperSanFrancisco, San Francisco: 1996. 155 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In these pages, West reflects on the chronicle of his life and offers us a lyrical, intimate, and profoundly affirming account of the pilgrimage of a twentieth-century Catholic. From his youthful days as postulant in a strictly orthodox Australian religious community, to his painful decision to leave the order, to his experiences as a soldier in the South Pacific during World War II, to his tentative first attempts at the writing life, and finally to his accomplished later years, West sketches a story that in its travails and joys reflects the evolution of both the Catholic faith in the twentieth century and the journey that every believer follows in his or her pilrimage toward God.
