Colfax Avenue: Boulder author Mark Shaw, a member of the International Thomas Merton Society, will discuss and sign his new book Beneath the Mask of Holiness: Thomas Merton and the Forbidden Love Affair That Set Him Free ($27.00 Palgrave). Spiritual writer Thomas Merton is the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. Despite appearances to the contrary, in 1966 he was a troubled, lonely monk. Only when the suffering Merton fell madly in love with a student nurse would he discover whether his devotion to God was stronger than his dedication to the woman he called “a miracle in my life.” Truly an inspirational story based on Merton’s personal journals, new information and sources such as fellow monks, Beneath the Mask of Holiness presents a unique portrayal of the famous man, one never revealed in its entirety before.
