Historia
Despite his brilliance, Paul Skoglund hasn't held a steady job for years, partly because of his Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that forces his body into wild swings and to blurt out words that are hilariously, often tragically, inappropriate.

Historia
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Historia
Enter the fantastical world of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy, one of the undisputed fantasy classics of all time. Novelist C.S. Lewis called Peake's books "actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before, and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience."

Absolutely fantastic! The best of the best.
Read with authority and complete understanding of the authors words.
Both book and narrator must not be missed.
Thanks to M Peake for this wonderful story and thanks to Simon Vance for the pleasure given with his voice as he narrates.

Beautiful creation! Very poor narration.
Revisado: 04-01-23
The story is fantastic!
The narrator not. When there are written accents to names ( and sometimes the narrator read making typical mistakes reading what was not written but what she thought she read), the narrator must read with respect for what the author has written. There is great pleasure in reading a writer’s work. This cannot be done carelessly. S Shannon researched history and names to create her story. It is unnecessary for the narrator to exhaust the listener with their tone. ( or exaggerated enthusiasm ).
Regard for the autor’s creation is paramount.
I’m certain this particular narrator could do better with a different genre.
If I had just read this book and not listened and read simultaneously, the voices of the characters and the story itself would have been heard and interpreted very differently.
The second volume has several narrators. The author herself also narrates. Looking forward to greater enjoyment with the second volume.
If Audible would re-do this first volume, I’d consider giving it another read.
Thank you S Shannon for a wonderful world.

Historia
This is a darkly hilarious coming-of-age novel and a richly plotted suspense tale told through the distinctive voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer. After a childhood spent moving from one academic outpost to another with her father, Blue is clever and possessed of a vast lexicon of knowledge. But when a drowning and the shocking death of a teacher lead to a confluence of mysteries, Blue is left to make sense of it all with only her gimlet-eyed instincts and cultural references to guide - or misguide - her.

Historia
No writer is as emblematic of the American 20th century as Susan Sontag. Mythologized and misunderstood, lauded and loathed, a girl from the suburbs who became a proud symbol of cosmopolitanism, Sontag left a legacy of writing on art and politics, feminism and homosexuality, celebrity and style, medicine and drugs, radicalism and Fascism and Freudianism and Communism and Americanism, that forms an indispensable key to modern culture.

I love Susan Sontag’s writing!
Revisado: 03-03-23
Susan Sontag’s life was as she said - passionate unto the end. To write as a bullfighter can risk his life standing before the bull. It is a ritual, sacrifice and the torero placed the sword accurately the bull never move and simply drop were he stands. It’s courage, it’s precision, a perfect skill with no suffering. Sontag wrote with this kind of passion.

Historia
Featuring original music by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon! It's 2003 and Romy Hall is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women's Correctional Facility, deep in California's Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: the San Francisco of her youth and her young son, Jackson. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the absurdities of institutional living, which Kushner evokes with great humor and precision.

Historia
Reno, so-called because of the place of her birth, comes to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life and art. Reno is submitted to a sentimental education of sorts—by dreamers, poseurs, and raconteurs in New York and by radicals in Italy, where she goes with her lover to meet his estranged and formidable family.
