"My story is not one of life and death, but of love and work," Robert Kanigel says in his new memoir, Young Man, Muddled. It is also a story deeply rooted in the city - and the culture - of Baltimore. Kanigel invites the reader back in time with him as he reconstructs his meandering, often haphazard journey from straight-laced, dull engineer to renowned writer. Kanigel's memoir is a timely look at how an underappreciated giant of biographies, essays, and science writing found his way into the field, and is a piece of encouragement for budding and unlikely writers alike.
