Praise for Garry Wills's Saint Augustine
"This brilliant biography, this excellent small book, presents with
brio the life of a person who still stirs us, throws us off, speaks
to us, heart to heart. Garry Wills's agile mind matches the agility
of St. Augustine.
--"New York Times Book Review"
"Not often, but every now and then, a truly gifted film director
takes up well-known material... and turns a subject with which we
thought we were thoroughly familiar into something once again
strange and challenging... Garry Wills's "Saint Augustine" has done
this. Seldom has a long-familiar figure, whose works fill thirteen
double-columned volumes in the standard edition, and whose life and
thought have been debated for sixteen hundred years, emerged so
fresh and challenging, from so masterful a 'director's' hand... A
deft and ingenious expositor set to work upon a great thinker."
--"The New York Review of Books"
