Abstract

Navigation Errors is a collection of personal essays that explore the ideas of religious fundamentalism, humanity’s place in—and relation to—nature, physical and mental challenge, paradigm shifts, and the mistakes that define individuals and communities. The pieces trace the development of a single “I” narrator from a devoted evangelical Christian, through a crisis of faith, and into process of resituating his place in the world and finding new sources of meaning. Some essays lean on memoir, others place more emphasis on research, but all are essays in the original sense, attempting to understand what it means to be a young writer establishing an artistic, social, and philosophical identity.
