I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You: My Life and Pastimes Hardcover - 2006

by Ralph McInerny


From the publisher

With I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You, Ralph McInerny--distinguished scholar, mystery writer, editor, publisher, and family man--delivers a thoroughly engaging memoir. In the course of his recollections, McInerny describes his childhood in Minnesota; his grammar school and seminary education, with his decision to leave the path toward ordination; his marriage to his beloved Connie and their active family life and travels; and his life as a fiction writer. We learn of his career as a Catholic professor of philosophy at Notre Dame, his views on the Catholic Church, his experiences as an editor and publisher of Catholic magazines and reviews, his involvement with the International Catholic University, and his thoughts on other Catholic writers. Part homage to his academic home for the last half century and part appreciation of the many significant friendships he has fostered over his life, McInerny's reminiscences beautifully convey his lively interest in the world and his gift for friendship and collegiality.

Written in his characteristically elegant style, by turns charming, poignant, humorous, and revealing, I Alone Have Escaped to Tell You will delight McInerny's many devoted readers.

First line

TO SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS NOT THE CONFESSIONS OF ST. AUGUSTINE may sound as gratuitous as saying that none of my novels is War and Peace, but the remark has point.
