Genesee Diary

Report From A Trappist Monastery

Taking advantage of a sabbatical, the author, by special arrangement with the Trappist monks of Genesee Abbey in upstate New York spends seven months in seclusion at the abbey. Living the day-to-day monastic routine as a fully integrated, if temporary member of the community provides him with a unique opportunity to probe his own life as a busy lecturer, writer and university professor in contrast with the slower-paced lifestyle of the monks. A special treat for anyone interested in what goes on inside monasteries ¬ or perhaps better - what goes on inside people inside monasteries.

(Doubleday, 1976, Pp. xiv + 199)
