Stepping into the Void

About the Book

This memoir is about the author’s more salient experiences while growing up, studying for the Catholic priesthood, struggling to get established in academic philosophy, then pursuing an alternative career he found frustrating and unfulfilling. Although the author has attempted to preserve historical accuracy, this memoir focuses more on experiences than on the events that gave rise to them. A chronicle of one individual’s search for meaning, this memoir depicts the existential journey that constitutes a human life.
