"To get beyond him you have to climb over...
...pray much. When he entered the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky, however, his abbot decreed that Merton should continue writing-as he had since the age of ten. Merton was ordained a priest in 1949, the year after his first major book, The Seven Storey Mountain, had become a bestseller and thrust him permanently into a life of books, articles, poems and a massive correspondence with friends all over the world...

There, he discovers a troupe of junketing European aristocrats, including Brigitte Bardot, Jack Hawkins and Honor Blackman, sipping drinks with pinkies extended, trading salon witticisms and plugging mountain lions from close range. Classic examples of the unspeakable pursuing the uneatable, the hunters blithely pooh-pooh Connery's warning that the Injuns are on a scalptingling expedition. Miffed, Shalako sulks off to wait for the redskins to do their worst to the unwary tourists...
