What Happens When One of America’s Most Admired Biographers Writes His Own Biography?For Eric Metaxas, the answer is Fish Out of Water: A Search for the Meaning of Lifea 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 childhoodand riotous triumphs at Yaleto the nightmare of drifting toward a dark abyss of meaninglessness from which he barely escapes.Along the way he introduces us to an unforgettable troupe of picaresque characters who join this quintessentially first-generation American boy in what is both bildungsroman and odysseyand which underscores just how funny, serious, happy, sad, and ultimately meaningful life can be.
