I wish the library had more of these shorts on audio download (or just more audio short stories in general). It was amazing to revisit the Alexie story for the nth time--he will never get old--and BD Wong delivers it in such a way that it transforms from a short story to a monologue (I never realized that story could hold any more emotion than it already does, but dang, man). I'm excited to continue reading Adichie and really jump in with Lahiri's work as well. The Hemon story wasn't as strong, but funny enough to make me laugh on the treadmill at the gym, so I wouldn't mind seeing how his other work fares. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A diverse selection of stories of contemporary American life and dreams lost and then found, this audio CD from the acclaimed Selected Shorts series features works from four of today’s most talented authors: Sherman Alexie, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Aleksandar Hemon, and Jhumpa Lahiri. A robbery and its dramatic consequences lead a Spokane Indian to rethink his entire life in Alexie’s "Breaking and Entering," dynamically performed by B. D. Wong. A young Nigerian woman tackles adventure by taking a Greyhound bus to the end of the line and starting a new life in Hartford in Adichie’s longing-filled story "The Thing Around Your Neck," performed by Condola Rashad. Tony winner Boyd Gaines performs Hemon’s heartfelt tale "Good Living," in which a Bosnian emigrant seeks the American dream while selling magazines door to door in Chicago. Lastly, Rita Wolf gives a breathtaking performance of "Hell-Heaven," Lahiri’s story of passions and tensions in a Bengali family in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from her acclaimed collection Unaccustomed Earth. This CD is sure to delight listeners while providing an opportunity for artists and audiences to connect. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
