Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 92
It is the summer of 1979. An English painter travels to a small island off the west coast of Ireland. Mr. Lloyd takes the last leg by curragh, though boats with engines are available and he doesn't much like the sea. He wants the authentic experience, to be changed. He doesn't know that a Frenchman follows close behind. Masson has visited the island for many years, studying their language, and is fiercely protective of their isolation. But the people who live on this rock have their own views on what is being recorded, what is being taken, and what ought to be given in return.

Missing 15 pages at the end
Revisado: 09-04-22
This is a beautiful book, but I was reading along with a physical copy at the end, and the audible version just slipped pp356-369! It left out crucial conversations at the very end, and had I not had a book I would never have known. Frustrating for sure! Excellent performance and story, but a fail on the editing end.

For readers or listeners of Nora Ephron, Tina Fey, and David Sedaris, this hilarious, poignant, and extremely frank collection of personal essays confirms Lena Dunham - the acclaimed creator, producer, and star of HBO's Girls - as one of the brightest and most original writers working today.

Not my kind of girl
Revisado: 07-26-15
I was disappointed, but I guess I didn't know what I was walking into. Lena's honesty is admirable but she is also totally not my kind of girl.

Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

Starts slow
Revisado: 05-27-15
Starts slow, haunts you, then sort of fades... As a Chicago resident I love the city history and commentary! The narrator is good, but I also found my mind wandering. Not sure if that was the text or the narrator. Holmes was truly a madman, and the Fair people were equally fascinating in a completely different way. I wish there had been a conclusion to the suspicious female neighbor of Holmes, and I also thought the investigation at the end by Geyer was one of the more intriguing parts. I would have liked to hear more of that.
This was my first Larson book but won't be my last.
