Anyone read this? It was published a few days after his death. I ordered, but it won’t be here until Saturday.

David Allen White's (RIP+) The Voice of the Trumpet is a great biography of +Williamson, and I think the only one. I honestly suspect this is an AI generated book, given the weird writing style of the synopsis and the strange title


And even if it is a human, I'm not sure if he has the knowledge required to write a book on +Williamson

Quote
"What factors led him to become a controversial person who questioned the standards of the contemporary Church—and the wider world—after growing up as a conservative Catholic?"

Not sure if it's a bad thing to have a more non-Trad viewpoint, where someone might be put off by a biography that already assumes the principles and context of Traditional Catholicism and might put some people off.  But if various people have heard of His Excellency, say, in the news, and might be wondering what he's all about, that perspective of attempting to be objective/historical (vs. from within the Trad framework), might actually provide a subtle introduction into Traditional Catholicism if they admire the more natural aspects of who Bishop Williamson was.

"Get ready to be pulled into the life of a guy who has dared to question the established quo in order to achieve his vision of moral and spiritual purity, whether he is applauded or vilified. This book provides a unique look into the thoughts of Bishop Williamson, a man who has both sparked indignation and inspired devotion in a divided world, via interviews, historical research, and personal recollections."
