About this item

For Eric Metaxas, the answer is Fish Out of Water: A Search for the Meaning of Life - a poetic and sometimes hilarious memoir of his early years, in which the Queens-born son of Greek and German immigrants struggles to make sense of a world in which he never quite seems to fit. Renowned for his biographies of William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther, Metaxas is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, the witty host of the acclaimed Socrates in the City conversation series, and a nationally syndicated radio personality. But here he reveals a personal story few have heard, taking us from his mostly happy childhood - and riotous triumphs at Yale - to the nightmare of drifting toward a dark abyss of meaninglessness from which he barely escapes.
