Shattuck, Roger. The Forbidden Experiment. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1980.

A mysterious boy emerged from a forest in southern France in early 1800. Although he was human in form and walked upright, his habits were those of a young male animal. Roger Shattuck offers an account of this fascinating episode in intellectual history. He examines the relationships that developed among the boy, soon named Victor, Madame Guerin, the woman who fed and washed him, and Itard, the tutor who defied his colleagues who believed the boy was hopelessly retarded. Shattuck helps readers form many of the questions that still haunt parents, special education teachers, guidance counselors, and all students of human behavior to this day: How do children acquire language? How do deaf and mute children learn? Can children who have been neglected or abused ever learn to trust the world? Like a true-life tale of adventure rolled into a detective story, Roger Shattuck's account of the Wild Boy of Aveyron is a sensitive account.

Wilson is an ideal touchstone for either specialists or beginners in literature; an essay such as "The Ambiguity of Henry James" is one example where he has written about a significant author (in this case a popularly and critically acclaimed one) in such a way that enables readers to appreciate the writer, his complexity, and his resiliency, all the more keenly.

There is much in The Splendor of Truth that is consistent with Jewish teaching and in many ways Judaism and Catholicism stand on common ground.

Thirty years after Vatican II, on the verge of the third millennium, Pope John Paul II is saying in his latest encyclical that all people, by the grace and revelation of God consummated in Jesus Christ — even if they do not explicitly know Christ or God himself — all people can come to "know the truth and the truth will set them free." And the splendor of that truth, the Pope professes in Veritatis Splendor, is alone to be found in its shining fullness on the face of Jesus Christ.
