To Be a Pilgrim (New York Review Books Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Sidney Monas,Hudson Review
Cary has a gift of humanity.... His humor shows no traces of carrion under the fingernails. His prose...suffuses his perceptions with all the vitality of a language well used and hard thought over.
Book Description
People lie to themselves and lie to each other, and the lies they tell become their lives. Tom Wilcher, the hero of the second volume of Joyce Cary's First Trilogy, has been at various times a political activist, a closefisted lawyer, a self-sacrificing brother, and a dirty old man. But as he faces death his unfulfilled spiritual yearnings are uppermost in his mind.
