Non-fiction
Jim Franks is a baker and a poet who’s written a love story about bread, which is to say he’s written a life story about listening, learning, trying, failing, adapting, and above all, caring. Through humor, history, relentless curiosity, and refreshingly unsentimental poetry, Existential Bread teaches there are many ways to bake a loaf just as there are many ways to live a life. The audio book is narrated by Jim Franks and features music by Bill MacKay, James Schroeder, Rob Frye, Whitney Johnson, and Shutaro Noguchi.
