Carl Frederick Buechner (/ˈbiːknər/ BEEK-nər; July 11, 1926 – August 15, 2022) was an American author, Presbyterian minister, preacher, and theologian. The author of thirty-nine published books,[1] his career spanned more than six decades and encompassed many different genres. He wrote novels, including Godric (1981 Pulitzer Prize finalist), A Long Day's Dying and The Book of Bebb, his memoirs, including The Sacred Journey, and theological works, such as Secrets in the Dark, The Magnificent Defeat, and Telling the Truth.
Buechner was named "without question one of the truly great writers of the 20th century" by viaLibri, a "major talent" by The New York Times, and "one of our most original storytellers" by USA Today. Annie Dillard (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek) called him "one of our finest writers."[2] Buechner's works have been compared to C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton and have been translated into twenty-seven languages.
Buechner was a finalist for the National Book Award,[3] presented by the National Book Foundation, and has been awarded eight honorary degrees from such institutions as Yale University[4] and the Virginia Theological Seminary.[5] In addition, Buechner was the recipient of the O. Henry Award,[6] the Rosenthal Award, the Christianity and Literature Belles Lettres Prize, and was recognized by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.[7]
