This is a personal memoir, cast in the form of a secular breviary, that recreates a year Father Owen Lee spent teaching at an American college campus in Rome over a quarter century ago. Father Lee is by day a classics professor, but has also been a beloved presence on the Metropolitan Opera’s Saturday afternoon Chevron-Texaco broadcasts for over 20 years - and is an ever-insightful commentator on operatic stories, music and themes.
- Draws together three aspects of Father Lee’s life; opera, literature and his life and work as a priest
A Book of Hours is a departure for Father Lee: a personal memoir, cast in the form of a secular breviary, that recreates a year Father Lee spent teaching at an American college campus in Rome over a quarter century ago.
The book draws together in an intricate web of refracting relationships the three great loves of Father Lee's life: opera, literature, and his life and work as a priest. A Euro rail pass allowed him to visit all the great opera houses of Europe, which in turn reflected on his teaching in the classroom during the week: Homer and Virgil, Whitman and Rilke. And all of this is set in the context of a personal crisis - impending hearing loss, theological doubts, and the celibate's inevitable regret, at age forty, that he cannot share his remaining years with children of his own.
In this inspiring and beautifully crafted book, Father Lee shows us how religious faith and a deeply humanistic culture need never be enemies, but rather can be a source of mutual enrichment.
Review:
‘His subject is the power of beauty to place him ‘face to face with something, someone, deep within me and at the same time infinitely beyond.’ Theological arguments, ethical dilemmas, and discussions with colleagues and students about Homer, Horace, Sappho, and Wagner mix with lively descriptions of Rome. He illuminates every experience with infinite shades of meaning....[I]n every facet of this exquisite memoir Father Lee communicates a fertile affirmation of life.’
Wholenote, Toronto
‘[A] wonderful book which will give enormous pleasure to any person who still believes in the inherited high culture of the West....[Lee’s] memoir is the testimony of a kind of Christian humanist who is a rarity today.”
Commonweal
‘A Book of Hours is an aesthetic feast, lyrically offered. But it is also a pilgrim's journey, an odyssey of an authentically humanist Christian soul.’
