Abstract
In my 3,000-word review essay "Michael Ignatieff's 2021 Book On Consolation, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I first briefly introduce the distinguished Canadian author Michael Ignatieff's new book On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times (New York: Metropolitan Books/ Henry Holt, 2021). But I then quickly turn to discussing the Spiritual Exercises of the Spanish Renaissance mystic St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus (known informally as the Jesuit order), because consolation and desolation are important themes in Ignatian spirituality. In various places, I discuss the thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). In the next subsection, I highlight Ignatieff's 2021 book and Rabbi Dennis S. Ross' 2021 book about the thought of Martin Buber (1878-1965).
