David Shields: Books That Grapple With Meaning

Jeremy Richards
05/15/2010

Some people are so obsessed with finding meaning that they're struck with "analysis paralysis" and they lose track of meaning altogether. It's not easy to think yourself out of an existential crisis. Seattle–based author David Shields has realized that over the years. As a writer and professor, he reads voraciously. But sometimes, he says, meaning is so elusive that he has a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. David Shields talks with KUOW's Jeremy Richards and shares two books that tear down meaning while still affirming a reason to live.
