	Books and Writing - 12/10/1999: Morris West (Transcript)
		Morris West: As a matter of fact I'm engaged in an interesting piece of correspondence with a very high churchman at this moment - and I mean a very high churchman - on the issue of what is provided in law and the apostolic constitution for the illness or total incapacity of a Pope.
		Morris West: Well I travelled quite a lot in the east, and one of the things that impressed me greatly was the buddhist notion of the continuity of things, the wheel of life which is what we're talking about, the ever turning wheel.
		Morris West: Oh all the aspects of trying to find out who I was after I'd spent ten, twelve years in a monastery and came out with part of my mind well developed and the rest of me not knowing who the hell I was, in a world at war of which I knew nothing.

		West, who died at the age of 84 in 1999, had his heyday as a writer in the 1960s and 1970s.

	Amazon.ca: The Last Confession: Books: Morris West (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		This sobering and intense novel is a tribute to both Giordano Bruno, a Dominican monk who was burned at the stake for heresy in 1600, and the author himself, who firmly believed in his right to question orthodoxy.
		West wrote over 20 novels, among them the well-known Devil's Advocate (1959), The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963), and Clowns of God (1981), in which he raised complex moral and ethical issues involving the Catholic Church.
		For the novel that was to be his last, popular and prolific writer West clearly cast aside concerns that he should secularize his fiction and take on contemporary topics.

	Morris West - View from a Ridge: an interview with Australia's biggest-selling author
		On October 9, 1999, Morris West was at his desk working on his next book, The Last Confession, when his "heart just stopped".
		I thought we might talk here, if you don't mind my being in presidential mode." Tall and broad-shouldered, Morris West still cuts a jaunty figure, if frailer than in his prime; the Falstafian girth so beloved of profile writers is considerably more modest, the jut-jawed profile softened by age into grandfatherly amiability.
		"Morris, Morris," they mini-mobbed, vying for his attention as he made a politely brusque exit, slow-motion pop-star, to the waiting limo.

		The Vatican trilogy that began with The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963) and The Clowns of God (1981) reaches a dramatic conclusion in West's bold limning of a modern pontiff presiding in a time of terrorism and violence.
		West's authoritative knowledge of labyrinthine Roman society provides a credible background for the gripping climax.
		His new novel completes his papacy trilogy, begun with The Shoes of the Fisherman (1963) and continued with The Clowns of God (1981)--and both still great "reads." A tense and exciting thriller, Lazarus also explores world crises and theological politics quite as fascinating to non-Catholics as to Catholics.

	Morris West: Intrigue of the last writes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		HE DEATH, mid-sentence and mid-manuscript, of Morris West has aroused speculation that his final book will be a surefire bestseller, but there is no guarantee that The Last Confession will ever reach the printers.
		Although The Last Confession is a novel, West had described it to me as "more a personal travel book, autobiographical in nature, and an anecdotal revisiting of the scenes and characters from a long and varied life".
		Based on the life of 16th century religious thinker Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake for his beliefs and with whom West identified strongly, The Last Confession was to be the final flourish to a grand scheme.

		West's knowledge of the times, both in the geo-polity of Argentina in the late 1980's and early 90's, as well as the dynamics within the Church at the time, was dead-on.
		Without trying to defend the sins of anyone involved in the story, he invites the reader to attempt to understand the frailties of the human condition and the power of faith.
