In Search of Faith, and other Responsibilities is the journal of an aspirant pilgrim making his stubborn way along the Camino de Santiago, attempting to find as many selves as he can.Trying to figure out exactly what it means to be a pilgrim and how to go about discovering faith while beset with neurosis the author recounts his thoughts and encounters, internal monologues and occasional hallucinations. The epistles of Saint Paul provide him with a number of elaborate, if not entirely substantive, theological reflections. Eventually, somehow, his cemetery to cemetery account beginning as an ambitious (and self-admittedly vain) attempt to capture the essence of faith leads to an enlightening obsession with death and provides the reader with an insight into the joy, revelation and loneliness of walking the Camino de Santiago.Travelling on foot through the vineyards of France, over the Pyrenees and across the plains of northern Spain a number of encounters gradually mould the author''s idea of what it means to walk the Way of Saint James, and more than that, what it means to be part of a single idea. The way. A no-man''s land of pilgrims that turns out to be a lot more conventional than it seems, though even more enlightening.In Search of Faith, and other Responsibilities is the story of an optimistic struggle against cynicism and an attempt to challenge the absurdity of our lives.

Envy is a book about the debate, but also something more. It''s a book about sports. It''s a book about life. In it, Fry weaves his own story.
