His conversations with his students and others around him provide him with dazzling new insight into his own life and his place in the world. A gifted teacher and philosopher, Manheimer's recounting of his class' discussions are playful and profound. When some of Manheimer's younger students take part in the class' philosphical search, an interesting fusion of generations and ideas occurs.
