Introductions East and West: The Foreign Prefaces of Thomas Merton

A collection of the prefaces Merton wrote for foreign translations of his books, printed in their original English, edited by Robert E. Daggy with a foreword by Harry James Cargas and published by Unicorn Press in 1981 (144 pages), with a checklist bibliography of his major writings. The prefaces, written for readers in Japan, Latin America, Europe and elsewhere, show how the later Merton reconsidered his earlier books. It was reissued in 1989 as "Honorable Reader": Reflections on My Work.
