From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Nickel and Dimed"
comes a brave, frank, and exquisitely written memoir that will
change the way you see the world. Barbara Ehrenreich is one of the
most important thinkers of our time. Educated as a scientist, she
is an author, journalist, activist, and advocate for social
justice. In LIVING WITH A WILD GOD, she recounts her
quest-beginning in childhood-to find "the Truth" about the universe
and everything else: What's really going on? Why are we here? In
middle age, she rediscovered the journal she had kept during her
tumultuous adolescence, which records an event so strange, so
cataclysmic, that she had never, in all the intervening years,
written or spoken about it to anyone. It was the kind of event that
people call a "mystical experience"-and, to a steadfast atheist and
rationalist, nothing less than shattering. In LIVING WITH A WILD
GOD, Ehrenreich reconstructs her childhood mission, bringing an
older woman's wry and erudite perspective to a young girl's
impassioned obsession with the questions that, at one point or
another, torment us all. The result is both deeply personal and
cosmically sweeping-a searing memoir and a profound reflection on
science, religion, and the human condition. With her signature
combination of intellectual rigor and uninhibited imagination,
Ehrenreich offers a true literary achievement-a work that has the
power not only to entertain but amaze.
