DESCRIPTION:
No reader will exit this volume without rethinking everything from dietary choice to drug policy, from Biblical inerrancy to domestic violence. This journey of the heart recalls the moral and geographic sweep of Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the naturalist's sensibility of Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.. A riveting account of a deeply examined life, Whale Falls offers culture-changing insight into the ramifications of our most deeply held assumptions

All over the place but in a good way lorax I find it hard to categorize this book, its genre, or even its point. However, because I am of the same era, of the same philosophical bent, I liked it. Reading it was like reminding myself of things I have thought about before. Except for the authors' personal life: yours will surely be different - or maybe not. The book reads like a journal, mixing personal history with polit. Authentic yet Sophomoric The author writes with possibly the most arrogant, self-congratulatory prose I read read in a while. The book uses personal experiences, situational anecdotes, and community college Marxist philosophy in an attempt to paint this as some sort of personal growth story from simple young life to "enlightened" adult. Obviously a political narrative cleverly disguised and Stand By Me. "Depth of human experience" according to Bette Inman. This book follows the life and development of our human experience. Mr. Bothwell shares his journey of self-discovery and growing philosophical understand. His vision and insight are profound. I highly recommend this book of freethought and philosophical perspective.
