About this title: Lori is a teacher, devoted to her students, but her life outside the classroom is is almost willfully unformed, passive and unfulfilled. "My mystery is a simple one," she admits. "I don't know what being alive is." Into this empty life steps Ulysses, an intense young professor of philosophy whom she will love and who will guide her toward the "most urgent necessity" of a human being--becoming a human being. Here is an apprenticeship...to existence.
