Kevin Starr says the new memoir by Monsignor Harry G. Schlitt is "slyly humorous, engaging and illumined with lightning bolts of religious insight." Add to that encounters with Paul Lynde, James Brown, Joan Crawford, assorted cardinals and a handful of popes, including one emeritus, set against the backdrop of world capitals, and you've got a social historic narrative depicting the epic journey of a Catholic priest through changing mores and contemporary life.
