Letter to a Priest encapsulates the sharp wit and moral questioning of Simone Weil, regarded by Susan Sontag as "one of the most uncompromising and troubling witnesses to the modern travail of the spirit." Written to Father Joseph-Marie Perrin, a Catholic priest she met in Marseilles, it expresses Weil's powerful reflections on Catholic faith, dogma, and institutions. At the time, Weil was seen as a soul in torment, with her thoughts marked by profound inner conflict. Despite her early death at age 34, Weil left behind a body of work that continues to provoke deep reflection. This text is essential reading for anyone grappling with questions of faith and belief.
