Share by Kevin Di Camillo In 1950, Henry Morton Robinson, who had up to that point in his life only written a few slim volume of poetry, two politely-ignored novels, and, along with Joseph “The Power of Myth” Campbell, A Skeleton’s Key To Finnegans Wake, produced what turned out to be a multi-million-copy New York Times best-selling novel simply entitled The Cardinal. Time Magazine praised it as “The year’s most popular book, fiction or non-fiction”, which is surprising because the book is (a) very long (nearly seven hundred pages), and (b) not at all an “easy-read”, filled as it is with ecclesiastical terminology and at times difficult themes of theology.
