Paperback. Condition: Fair. The sixties were a time of restlessness, inner turmoil, and exuberance for Merton during which he closely followed the careening development of political and social activism - Martin Luther King, Jr., and the March on Selma, the Catholic Worker Movement, the Vietnam war, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Volume 5 chronicles the approach of Merton's fiftieth birthday and marks his move to Mount Olivet, his hermitage at the Abbey of Gethsemani, where he was finally able to fully embrace the joys and challenges of solitary life: 'In the hermitage, one must pray of go to seed. The pretense of prayer will not suffice. Just sitting will not suffice . . . Solitude puts you with your back to the wall (or your face to it ), and this is good' (13 October, 1964). …

Hardback. Condition: Good.  Terry Walker is an even-tempered, successful mathematics professor, comfortable with his world--the order and predictability of it. He likes the kind of life one lives in a quiet Salt Lake City subdivision. At his children's births, he masks his terror with numbers--his wife's contractions and dilations, blood pressure, heart rate. At funerals he absorbs his grief by calculating the cubic feet of earth the coffin and vault will displace. But control is illusive, something his fifteen-year-old son Blake never lets him forget. A sensitive boy, Blake has refused to eat meat since the time he could walk. Fearing he will hurt his friends' feelings, Blake withdraws from a spelling bee that he could easily win. More importantly, however, Blake harbors a secret that he keeps from Terry. Driving this important first novel are issues and characters Thomas Mann himself would have found compelling. Terry Walker's inability to accept what he knows and does not know about his child, what he possibly could never accept, exacts a high price. Almost at the threshold of insanity, the father begins waging a war against a powerful chaos. Van Wagoner takes his readers beyond a simple foretelling of what happens in such situations to deep beneath the story's skin, to a place readers will find familiar and perhaps even irresistible. Tim Sandlin has commented on Dancing Naked (Sandlin is the author of Skipped Parts, a New York Times "Notable Book."), noting how "remarkably clean" Van Wagoner's prose is. He calls him a "first-rate writer" and adds that he "stares deep into the heart of intolerance, grief, and redemption, and does not blink." David Lee (Western States Book Award for My Town) considers Van Wagoner "the best contemporary writer in Utah." Elaborating, he writes: "Reading Van Wagoner is like opening a can of biscuits: there's the pop, the swelling, the aroma of fresh dough, and the anticipation of flavor. And the wonder: how can he fit so much into such a small vessel?" Similarly, Levi Peterson (Association for Mormon Letters Book Award for Canyons of Grace) praises the "mastery of language" and "perfectly cadenced sentences" in Dancing Naked. He says that it is remarkable that Van Wagoner can so perfectly present "the effects of male ego--a punitive anger turned against homosexuality--upon three generations of a family.".…
