A Roland Colonnade

With the publication of A Roland Colonnade, the written accounts of the meeting of minds between David Bentley Hart and his dog Roland come full circle. One likes to think that Roland would have appreciated the image. So this is not a sequel, but rather a companion, to Roland in Moonlight. As noted in the Introduction, the purpose of this volume is to assemble, in their original states, all the individual columns featuring Roland, for the sake of a complete record of that mighty soul's literary posterity; and also as a tribute to one who was loved dearly by his family, and by so many others-seemingly from afar and yet more truly in immediacy. For many readers, A Roland Colonnade offers a chance to revisit that ineffable warmth and solace. And as the author concludes the book, "But the new sky and the new earth are still promised, and all our memories of Roland tell us why they are still worth hoping for and believing in. Somewhere, we have to believe, he is waiting for us."
