Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty: An Intimate Portrait of My Grandmother
7:00pm
In this biography by Kate Hennessey, the life and work of Dorothy Day is told with illuminating detail by her granddaughter, Kate Hennessy. Day was a prominent writer, social activist, and co-founder of a movement dedicated to serving the poor. Her life has been revealed through her own writings as well as the work of historians, theologians, and academics. What has been missing until now is a more personal account. This book challenges ideas of plaster saints, detailing Day's life before her conversion--having an abortion and a child out of wedlock--and after her conversion, when she was both a servant and a rigorous challenger of the Church. Hennessy's account will show her as driven to do good but dogmatic, loving but judgmental, in particular toward her only daughter, Tamar. Day's story unfolds against a backdrop of New York City from the 1910s to the 1980s.
Kate Hennessy is a writer whose recent work includes a collaboration with the photographer Vivian Cherry called Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker: The Miracle of Our Continuance and pieces included in Best American Travel Writing. After calling both Vermont and New York City home, Kate now lives in the west of Ireland with her husband.
