The title essay in this collection, ‘Pilgrim Interrupted, ‘ is set on the island of Patmos, Greece, during one of Susan’s pilgrimages with her husband, Father Basil Cushman, an Orthodox priest. Pilgrimages. Orthodoxy. Icons. Monasteries. It’s all in here. But so are stories about mental health, caregiving, death, family, and writing, including a section on ‘place, ‘ a key element in Southern literature. And how is Susan’s pilgrimage ‘interrupted’?
By life itself.
