About this title

From the Back Cover:

The Reverend Ernest Cudlipp, almost 45, urbane and intelligent, is vicar of a prominent Fifth Avenue church in New York. "Men and Brethren" follows him through a singularly eventful summer weekend, his dealings with parishioners and friends, his professional and personal relationships. His solutions to the problems he confronts are characteristically forthright, often unorthodox, a product of the struggle between his beliefs and his experience. This is a deceptively powerful novel, filled with ironical intelligence, incisive portraiture, and onrushing action.

About the Author:
