Resumen del Editor
When the enigmatic billionaire founder and CEO of Tetration, the world's most powerful tech company, is diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, he hires a failed novelist, Josh Cohen, to ghostwrite his memoirs. This tech mogul, known only as "Principal", takes Josh deep into his own mind, and outlines the history of Tetration, which started by revolutionizing the search engine and later ventured into smartphones, computer manufacturing, and the surveillance of American citizens.
Accompanying Josh on a mind-bending world tour of local Tetration offices, from Palo Alto to Dubai, Principal soon initiates Josh into the secret pretext of the autobiography project, and the life-or-death stakes that surround its publication.

After making an odd request to evict his sister-in-law from his home, one of her clients turns up dead. Jackie would have expected that to be the end of it, but an envelope found on the corpse contains an item so unusual that she finds herself working on something bigger, and more dangerous, than real estate.

Historia
A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

In an effort to delay the frailty and isolation that comes with old age, psychiatrist Millard Salter decides to kill himself by the end of the day - but first he has to tie up some loose ends. These include a tête-à-tête with his youngest son, Lysander, who at 43 has yet to hold down a paying job; an unscheduled rendezvous with his first wife, Carol, whom he hasn't seen in 27 years; and a brief visit to the grave of his second wife, Isabelle. Complicating this plan, though, is Delilah, the widow with whom he has fallen in love in the past few months.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Our just-trying-to-help mothers are just driving us crazy. Our social media feeds taunt us with everyone else's picture-perfect lives. It's enough to send you on a gummy-bear bender while binge-watching Friends reruns and not showering for a week. Lincee knows. She's been there. Right there, in fact. Gummy bears and all.

Sometimes a man can be redeemed. But not in the way he expects. Jason Stafford is a former Wall Street hotshot who made some bad moves, paid the price with two years in prison, and is now trying to put his life back together. He’s unemployable, until an investment firm asks him to look into possible problems left by a junior trader who died recently in an accident. What he discovers is big - there are problems, all right, the kind that get you killed. But it’s not his only concern. Stafford has another quest as well: to reclaim his five-year-old son, "the Kid", from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to make a life with him.

Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959-1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive comedy of blending, identity, and politics.

This essay aims to inform the reader about the real mathematical chances of success he faces in the pursuit of women, as well as the modern-day risks, so that he may make an informed economic decision as to how he best invests his life. It also aims to align the reader's expectations with reality so his life is not ruined by delusion or hope, both of which have ruined millions of lives in the past. But in short, this essay is nothing less than the most important cost-benefit analysis any man will read.

The Other Name follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers—two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life.

Historia
One of the boldest voices of his generation, Joshua Cohen returns with Moving Kings, a powerful and provocative novel that interweaves, in profoundly intimate terms, the housing crisis in America's poor black and Hispanic neighborhoods with the world's oldest conflict, in the Middle East.

Historia
This essay aims to inform the reader about the real mathematical chances of success he faces in the pursuit of women, as well as the modern-day risks, so that he may make an informed economic decision as to how he best invests his life. It also aims to align the reader's expectations with reality so his life is not ruined by delusion or hope, both of which have ruined millions of lives in the past. But in short, this essay is nothing less than the most important cost-benefit analysis any man will read.

Historia
First published in 1621, and hardly ever out of print since, it is a huge, varied, idiosyncratic, entertaining and learned survey of the experience of melancholy, seen from just about every possible angle that could be imagined. The Anatomy of Melancholy, presented here with all the original quotations in English, is, at last, available on audiobook in its entirety.

Historia
The Other Name follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway. The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life. He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, Åsleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bjørgvin, a couple hours drive south of Dylgja, where he lives. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter. He and the narrator are doppelgangers—two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life.

The narrator is making this book accessible...
If you could sum up Book of Numbers in three words, what would they be?
I am engaged
What does Kirby Heybourne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Accessibility. I'm not sure I could read this book. I bought the book and tried.
Any additional comments?
It 'listens' like music. Great job Kirby!

Narrator reads too slowly.
Regarding narration only, if you speed up the playback to 1.2X, it’s bearable. Fourteen fifteen

Ignore the reviews. A funny and engrossing book.
Any additional comments?
I found this book interesting all the way through, building as it went along. An excellent reader for the text, which might have been off-puttimg on paper. Can't understand the extremely negative reviews. Give it a try. If you don't like it, return it.

A brilliant and confounding novel
What made the experience of listening to Book of Numbers the most enjoyable?
The prose is music (for the most part) until it clogs up with jargon or mind-numbing lists. Still, the part of the novel starting around section 30, the imagined recounting of the history of the internet by a dying Steve Jobs-like figure, is a treat, as is the relationship between this character and the narrator, who is trying to find a way to write Jobs' autobiography. Don't be discouraged by the opening of this section, which is so awful as to temp a quitter to quit. It's meant to be the narrator's first misdirected stab at writing the story. And for those of us who have been in the publishing business, there can never be too much inside baseball, including the Frankfort Book Fair. Those with knowledge of German, or who have taken German, might find those lengthy sections in mistranslated German more entertaining than trying. For me, the least interesting part of the book.
Would you be willing to try another book from Joshua Cohen? Why or why not?
I'd take a crack at another one, but would wait a while. Unlike mysteries or thrillers, where reading one makes you want to read the next, this is like Thanksgiving dinner, or as the Brits call it, "over-egging the pudding." It's too rich. You need a break after finishing it.
What about Kirby Heybourne’s performance did you like?
Hmmm. These questions are awful. Yes, it was ok, and certainly a challenge to find someone to tackle all the languages. Kirby mispronounced some common English words, OR, they were written as neo-logisms. With a book like this, it's hard to tell. Nosocomical? as he read it, or "nosocomial," the actual words. Without looking at the text itself, I can't say. Sometimes Kirby's reading became too insistent, as if he had to brace himself to keep going, like whipping a flagging horse.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I don't think this book was meant to move the reader. It's ambitious, but not in that way.
Any additional comments?
Quite an experience. And remember, if you don't like the book after giving it a solid chance, Audible is very good about taking the book back and giving credit. I did it once. On a short Dennis Lehane novel that I just couldn't get into.

Pardon my French....
Owww.
If you find the French friendly, Ivy Leaguers demigods and Wall Street full of heroes, you might be a fan of this book.
I find haughtiness in writing overly tedious and vexatious, and the writing in this book to be the lexical equivalent of Ambien + Benadryl.
Here's a Number: 10.
As in 10 words I wish someone had told me before I wasted a credit on this book. And, please pardon my French:
Do not believe the hype! Le livre est beaucoup excréments.

Utter waste of credit
Any additional comments?
This was a book written in the style of a pompous, self-absorbed, redundant and scatter-brain author...ghost writing as himself for his namesake...supposedly exposing the underbelly of the tech industry... Apparently the real-life author playing the ghost writer has written prior readable material--there was little evidence of that here. The monotone, lifeless narration made the book practically unlistenable (I will puke if I hear cafe vs. caffe one more time), but was sadly in keeping with the quality of the actual book. Mr. Cohen may have had a story worth enduring for, but I for one could not get past the garbage posing as writing to get to it.
