| “Like
a lamp carried up a lane at night, The Red Virgin carves
a sure path to the life and work of Simone Weil, bringing us
into intimate contact with one of the great unavailing religious
and social thinkers of our century. It is a splendid book of
illuminations.” |
|
|
| “Weil
comes alive again to the reader, in all her feisty, haunting
singularity. A wonderful evocation!” |
|
|
| “This
book of poems, dazzling in their brillance, presents Simone
Weil in the fullness of her life as a woman, as a political
protester, as a spirit responding with intelligence and honesty
to the pain, the inhumanity, the dishonesty of life in the 20th
century.” |
