"Barbara Ehrenreich—feminist, antiwar activist, and one of a small handful deserving the title American public intellectual—is the last person you would expect to write a spiritual autobiography, and that is exactly why you should read hers. Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth About Everything is an open-eyed account, alternately beautiful and biting, of the profound mystical experiences Ehrenreich underwent as a young teenager. Indeed, the book is a coming out of sorts for Ehrenreich, a sometimes grudging admission that the reality she has learned to inhabit is but a thin and inadequate bulwark against a metaphysical force she can only name "the Other."
