Writer and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich has written more than 20 books since 1969. She is best known for her eye-opening 2001 account of trying to survive on minimum wage, Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, and the author never shies from controversy to explore and expose social strife. Her new book, Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever’s Search for the Truth About Everything, is her most ambitious, personal and controversial work to date, as she endeavors to tackle nothing less than the meaning of life. Ehrenreich reads from her book and talks in conversation with KQED Forum radio host Michael Krasny on April 22 at Book Passage, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 7pm. $10. 415.927.0960.
