Book Review: The Story of a Life: S. Thérèse of Lisieux, in Search of Thérèse

being initiated into poetics will struggle with this book, but the crossing T. raises from one discipline to the other is important to attempt. Because of its unique methodology and in spite of its inherent problems and difficulties, this volume is a splendid addition to literature on the Carmelite mystic. The study reminds us that transcending boundaries of academic disciplines is an intellectual challenge of the first order. The more insistent reminder and challenge of the book, however, is spiritual. In a gracious style brushed by the hand of the poet and spiritual pilgrim he is, T. echoes John's invitation to all Christian believers "not to rest satisfied with a receding vision in which the summit to be reached would remain hidden in permanent darkness, but rather to climb along the lanes of ascent of the mountain, in both their light and their night, until they reach the point where paths dwindle and there is no more law, because, in union with the Beloved, all is liberty" (248).
