Award-winning columnist, essayist, and author the monumental "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America," Barbara Ehrenreich continues her bold writing with "Living With a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth about Everything."
In middle age, Barbara Ehrenreich came across the journal she had kept during her tumultuous adolescence and set out to reconstruct that quest, which had taken her to the study of science and through a cataclysmic series of uncanny, or as she later learned to call them, "mystical" experiences. A staunch atheist and rationalist, she is profoundly shaken by the implications of her life-long search. Part memoir, part philosophical and spiritual inquiry, Living With a Wild God brings an older woman's wry and erudite perspective to a young girl's uninhibited musings on the questions that, at one point or another, torment us all.
Ehrenreich's most personal book ever will spark a lively and heated conversation about religion and spirituality, science and morality, and the "meaning of life." In Ehrenreich's strong, singular voice, Living With a Wild God combines intellectual rigor with a frank account of the inexplicable to produce a true literary achievement.
Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel columnist and arts/entertainment editor, will lead a conversation with Ms. Ehrenreich this evening.
