I borrowed it from the Sisters of Notre Dame Educational
Center.
Summary:
In her own words, Dorothy Day tells of her early life as a
young journalist in the 1920s, and her conversion to Catholicism, which ended
her common-law marriage. It also tells
of her meeting Peter Maurin and the start of the Catholic Worker
My Thoughts:
I did enjoy hearing Ms. Day’s life through her words. I also
enjoyed hearing her impressions of Peter Maurin and how she took his ideas and
tweaked them. I just found it lacking in
some details and aspects of her life, which made me seek out a biography about
her to learn more. For these reasons, I gave The Long Loneliness four stars and
a grade of “B”. I do encourage people to read Dorothy Day’s autobiography. She
is a formidable woman.
