Fish out of water A search for the meaning of life (a memoir)

Eric Metaxas

Sound recording - 2021

Eric Metaxas reveals the personal story of his early years. The scion of two families with very different traditions, he enjoyed their affection and support through his riotous but successful years at Yale, yet later felt abandoned as he drifted toward an abyss of meaninglessness from which he barely escaped.
