mickeymole's review against another edition

5.0

One of those rare books one can return to over and over. I highlighted a lot of paragraphs. Two great writers and thinkers share their friendship and knowledge. This is a beautiful book and must-read for lovers of literature.

Learned much about great literature from Shelbys evaluations of his favorite classics. Fascinating learning on writing from the conversations between these two great writers, one a Christian and one a respectful non believer, apparently. 20 years since I enjoyed this book of letters. Felt I came to know these two men quite well, especially having read Shelbys fiction in addition to his CW writing, and a few memorable books of Walker Percy. Wonderful experience and learning.
