About this product
Product Information
"Hilarious, harrowing, and ultimately inspiring.... Truly, there is something arresting and wonderful on every page." -- Michael Pollan "With sentences that sometimes astonish" (Matthew Crawford, author of Shop Class as Soulcraft ), celebrated cultural critic Mark Edmundson has written a hip and hilarious coming-of-age memoir about one man's miscues and false starts as he enters the world after college. Through exhilarating adventures, he attempts to answer the timeless question of who he is, while contemplating what role music, love, work, drugs, money, and books will play in his life.

I reached out about pricing, explaining that I am a student, and he offered a discount, letting me know what amount he would be happy to accept. I know eBay takes a portion, so I did not take lightly! The volumes were quickly placed in the mail and sent on their way. I was able to communicate with the seller at every junction. They were always patient and answered questions that I had. I would imagine I was a pain, so their grace is appreciated. I am so very grateful!Aristophanes III Loeb Classical Library.
