  abstract: In this novel, Benjamin Alexander Haas recounts his fundamentalist childhood in Texas and his growing awareness that he is gay. Far from home as a university student in the Midwest during the era of Vietnam, he enters the Catholic Church and then a monastery. A popular and respected priest for thirty years, he finally confronts his alcoholism and enters recovery, eventually choosing to leave the priesthood in his fifties, to find love and marriage as an openly gay man. The Books of Benjamin was originally drafted as part of National Novel Writing Month.
