Críticas
'The poet Robert Browning warned us that just when we are safest a friend's death or a sudden line of verse can start old questions reeling in our minds again. Be warned: this book will have the same effect, so don't read it if you don't want all your safe conclusions about the meaning of life shaken and stirred' --Richard Holloway
'Ehrenreich writes like a dream - elegantly carrying the reader with her on her latest and oddest of first-person journeys. Ehrenreich has produced a minor miracle: a book about these moments of transcendence that many have experienced but most have privately filed away' --Daily Telegraph
'Living With a Wild God makes for pleasantly prickly reading' --New York Times

'Living With a Wild God provides not just a vivid subjective account of an intense spiritual experience but an insight into this complex and intriguing woman and writer.

Reseña del editor
Barbara Ehrenreich is an acclaimed social critic on both sides of the Atlantic, renowned for her trenchant, witty polemics, her pieces of journalism, and her trademark intelligence. She writes with unparalleled precision, insight and a rationalist's unwavering gaze. But in middle age, she rediscovered the journal she had kept during her tumultuous adolescence, which records an event so strange that she had never, in all the intervening years, written or spoken about it. It was the kind of event that people call a 'mystical experience' - and to a steadfast atheist and rationalist, was nothing less than shattering. In Living with a Wild God, Ehrenreich vividly explores her life-long quest to find 'the truth' about the universe and everything else, in an attempt to reconcile this cataclysmic, defining moment with her secular understanding of the world. The result is a profound reflection on science, religion and the human condition, and a personal insight into the inner life of one of our finest thinkers. It is a book that challenges us all to reassess our perceptions of the world and what it means to be alive.
