Mother Teresa article, gratis

March 6, 2013 • 5:26 am

Several readers have been unable to get free access to the new article on Mother Teresa I described yesterday.  If you can’t get if, email me and I’ll send you a pdf file (I have permission from the authors to do so).  But be aware: it’s in French, and if you don’t read French, or don’t intend to read the article, please don’t take up my time.  kthxbye.

  4. I found Christopher Hitchens’ documentary of her on YouTube. It’s called Hell’s Angel.

  5. My apologies, Jerry, I don’t seem to find an email address for you on the website. Yes, I read French (although I’m not sure that I can provide more than a quite rudimentary translation–being married to the last Pope’s interpreter, I’m naturally a bit skittish about being published with such things).

    I would love to read this–I read The Missionary Position many years ago(out of print, BTW; you don’t even want to know what used ones are selling for).

    At the time I was the Editor-in-Chief of Citations, the local bar association monthly. I happened to make an (arguably ill-advised…) offhand editorial reference to MT as a “monster.” This is a heavily Catholic community. You can imagine the rest.

    1. Click through on the Research Interests link on the top right hand side of the page.

    2. I have a paperback of The Missionary Position, in pristine condition – I only needed to read it once. Don’t think I’ll part with it unless I can get enough to retire… 🙂

  6. I just got a copy of the article (thank you, Jerry!), and for the moment I’m preparing it for translation. (It’s a PDF, and as such it needs some preliminary operations to put it in a more comfortable — i.e., editable — text format; as well as have superfluous elements removed.) I was planning to start the translation tomorrow, and it will take a little till it’s finished. The article is some 14,000 words long, which would mean I would need about a week even if I were to dedicate most of my time to it — which I can’t do, for obvious reasons. Bottom line is, it will probably take me about two weeks or so.

    However, since my mother tongue isn’t English and I’m not very familiar with social sciences, a proofreading by a native English speaker (preferably with a background or interest in the field) is advisable. This should be fairly quick and doesn’t involve much more than reading the article through to spot any odd phrasing, typos, or grammar mistakes.
