Description - Speak What We Feel by Frederick Buechner
Buechner analyzes the works of four of his favorite (and most influential) writers, Mark Twain, G. K. Chesterton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Shakespeare. These four writers, he says, each wrote at least once “in his own blood about the darkness of life as he found it and about how for better or for worse he managed to survive it, even to embrace it.” Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, Chesterton’s Man Who Was Thursday, Hopkins last few sonnets, and Shakespeare’s King Lear—“in listening to these four say so powerfully not what they thought they ought to say but what they truly felt,” will allow us, Buechner believes, to learn to bear the weight of our own grief and sadness.
