Description
This is an outlandish, quirky, beautifully-written exposure of one woman's fix on Godhis surrealistic depravities, her own lusts and horrors, their vital "marriage." A Nun's Diary expresses a poetic theology that has as much to do with contemporary morality and love as it does with the institutions and traditions of Christianity. It is very funnythe humour both bawdy and blackand brilliant in its perceptions of what women, if they departed from conventional assessments, might think of men.
