Narrative Non-Fiction

Richard Feynman (1918–1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female torero—and much else of an eyebrow-raising nature. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unrelenting curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
