"A brilliant, paradoxical figure....In an age of 'inspirational' books without inspiration, her writing is unmatched for surprising, sometimes shocking, spiritual insight." -New York Times "The only great spirit of our time." -Albert Camus "The most truly spiritual writer of this century." -Andre Gide "This beguiling book is a fine introduction to Weil's work." -Publisher's Weekly "An excellent introduction to Weil's writings and also a valuable guide and stimulus for cultivating a life in which intellectual and spiritual honesty are inseparable, and in which the difficulty of attaining them is seriously confronted. It is ideal for classroom use, for introducing a friend to Weil, or for revisiting her long after an earlier encounter to be reminded why she is such a compelling and challenging interlocutor."-Mark Shiffman, Front Porch Republic "Love in the Void is a reminder to neophytes and the experienced alike that Weil's writing is meant to be concrete, accessible, and useful - more than simply ideas to ponder, but an invitation to change our lives. Plough has done an admirable job in assembling a condensed version of Weil's most pertinent writing. This is Weil burned down to her essentials." -Scott Beauchamp "An exciting encounter with an extraordinary mind."-Booklist
