Though I love the detective stories DLS wrote, this volume of her letters, more than volume one, really spoke to me. It covers the years in which she wrote many of her theological works and plays. The letters show some of the struggles she had at being drawn into this medium. It also shows how far she had come in her life of understanding and searching out the truth of God. Her careful, logical answers to detractors and supporters are a joy to read. Some of the letters show her to seem condescending and possibly arrogant, but I don't think she lived there, as other letters show her to be walking the path with great trepidation. For me, this book is an excellent example of how God can use us in spite of ourselves, just as we are. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"C. S. Lewis said that Dorothy L. Sayers would be acclaimed as one of the great letter-writers of the twentieth century. His opinion is triumphantly confirmed in this collection of letters spanning Sayers's childhood and career as a detective novelist." "Her letters to family, friends, and professional colleagues paint a vivid portrait of a serious, determined, and often very funny writer - not just the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey and the greatest detective novelist of the golden age, but also a poet, a translator, and ultimately a playwright." "There are also letters that make for painful reading: those to the man she loved, John Cournos, who refused to marry her because he didn't believe in marriage and didn't want children, yet soon after his move to America, married a woman with children of her own; and those pouring out her frustrated love to the illegitimate son whom she could not acknowledge publicly." "Sayers reveals herself candidly in her personal letters as a genial, amusing, and loyal friend, but also as the woman who "regarded the intellect as androgynous - neither male or female, but human" and took exuberant pleasure in using it well. Her letters bear the imprint of her vigorous mind, reflecting the social, cultural, and religious issues in which she took a passionate interest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
