About Books, October 25, 2008

Kathleen Norris writes eloquently in "Acedia and Me: a Marriage, Monks and a Writer's Life" about the ennui or boredom that haunts artists, monks and her own life. Using monastic writing and personal experience in this frank memoir, she talks about the power that acedia has to limit the capacity for happiness and the ability to work and be part of the community.
