About this title

Synopsis:

From Library Journal: "...the central thrust of these separately published essays is the interrelationship of sorrow and happiness. Pack (director of the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference) argues that the ``vision of possible happiness, happiness that comes from the acceptance of limits, enables the artist to place evil and suffering in their proper perspective.''
