Open. Rarely can readers observe the process of opening a mind. Thanks to Barbara Ehrenreich’s memoir,
Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth about Everything, interested readers can do just that. Believers would conclude that the dissociative episodes Ehrenreich experienced in her youth involved some manifestation of God, a glimpse of the transcendent. Following a bout with cancer and the loss of many papers in house hit by a hurricane, Ehrenreich paid attention to a journal from her youth that survived, and represented a message from her past self to her current self. Thanks to her examination of the journal and her recollections of her youth, we have this fascinating book that tries to describe the process of reaching understanding and insight.
Rating: Four-star (I like it)
