From 1948 until his death in 1968, Thomas corresponded with writers around the world, sharing with them his concerns about war, violence and repression, racism and injustice, and all forms of human aggression.
The Courage for Truth includes 20 years of Merton’s correspondence with fellow writers, among them Czeslaw Milosz, Boris Pasternak, James Baldwin, and even Henry Miller. Over time Merton’s order gave him increasing intellectual and political leeway–though never quite enough. In one letter, he assures Milosz: “You can say nothing about the Church that can shock me. If I stay with the Church it is out of a disillusioned love, and with a realization that I myself could not be happy outside, though I have no guarantee of being happy inside either. In effect, my ‘happiness’ does not depend on any institution or establishment. As for you, you are part of my ‘Church’ of friends who are in many ways more important to me than the institution.”
