Elisabeth Tova Bailey tells the intimate and inspiring story of her year-long encounter with a snail. While an illness keeps her bedridden, she becomes an astute and amused observer of the snail's surprising nocturnal adventures as it lives in a flowerpot on her nightstand. Intrigued by the snail’s clear decision making abilities, hydraulic locomotion, mysterious courtship, and molluscan anatomy, Bailey takes the listener deep into the life of this tiny amazing animal. With wit and grace, The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating recounts a remarkable journey of human and gastropod survival and resilience, and shows how the natural world illuminates our own human existence. Winner of the William Saroyan International Prize for Nonfiction, the John Burrough Medal Award for Natural History, and a National Outdoor Book Award. If you enjoyed Wesley the Owl, The Guest Cat, and Marley & Me, you'll enjoy this unique interspecies audiobook listen.

This is an unexpected wonder. The quiet virtues of the snail reflect the quiet voyage of the author.

Lesson in slowing down & chronic illness
Revisado: 04-21-23
I am not a person who slows down. I rarely read non-research. Listening to this book put me at ease, constantly taught me to slow down, and note the small and seemingly mundane which isn’t so at all. Modern day life is busy and we rarely slow down unless forced to. I savored this book and listened slowly as I didn’t want it to end. The narrator has an incredibly relaxing voice, almost meditative.
As a chronic invisible illness patient and medical detective, within the first minutes I realized the author had an illness shockingly similar to what my clients have (not telling, it’s in the epilogue). I plan to send copies to my clients

Getting heard is a tricky business: It’s what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audience’s assumptions and biases—and maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, there’s often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people should speak: like the wealthy white men who’ve historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing.

Eye Opening for Health care Provider & Speaker
Revisado: 03-17-23
I grabbed this book because I liked the title. I finished it quickly because I needed it and hadn’t know! I’m a new business owner and have my first international speech coming up. Everything Samara speaks to here resonates with how I speak in various settings now and how I want to come across in professional settings. She saw the elements of speech that make me uncomfortable and I want(ed) to change, as well as how telling my story in first person still make amy voice crack. I didn’t know I needed all the wisdom and honesty in this book, and am grateful I found it!

I listened at 1.1 speed as 1 felt slow. Multiple areas resonated highly. AND I TOO AM THAT PERSON WHO GETS LARYNGITIS at stressful times when I’m burnt out. I backtracked many times to listen again.
