Life shows that our greatest literature comes from a writer who uses simple and ambiguous formulas to put the blood of life in their work and reveal their own drawbacks to us. Then Buechner chose a special work by Gerard Manley Hopkins, Mark Twain, G.K. Chesterton as an artist and William Shakespeare try to express their own deep battle with sorrow, loneliness, guilt, or the absence of God.

As we feel, Buechner looks back on the interesting and complex question, "Which great writer can produce their best work in the living environment?" Impossible group of writers: Gerald Manley Hopkins, Mark Twain, GK. Chesterton and Shakespeare
