 In
1950 Frederick Buechner published his first novel, A Long Day's Dying,
which he had begun during his senior year at Princeton. A Long Day's
Dying had been a best-seller, and, as Buechner writes "...in 1953 [I]
went to New York to be a full-time writer, only to discover that I
could not write a word." During this year began attending Madison
Avenue Presbyterian Church, pastored by George Buttrick. His
subsequent conversion to Christianity was followed by his decision to
attend Union Theological Seminary. Here he studied under theologians
such as Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich, and James Muilenburg.
His Nobel Lectures delivered at Harvard in 1969 were published as The
Alphabet of Grace and his Lyman Beecher Lectures of Yale became
Telling the Truth. Among Buechner's other works are three volumes of
autobiography: The Sacred Journey, Now and Then, and Telling Secrets.
