Brilliant, but incomplete
Revisado: 03-30-25
Derek Jacobi is one of the few people (James Earl Jones, Patrick Stewart, Gregory Peck) that I would pay just to hear them read the Manhattan phone book, and this is a wonderful performance. Allen Mandelbaum is, perhaps, my favorite translator. The story is one that I have read every year or two since I was seven (now 73). So listening to this should be a dream of heaven, and in a way, it is. My only reservation is that it’s an incomplete edited version, which makes it impossible to read simultaneously with the narration. A minor annoyance. It’s like having a meal at the Gourmet Room (Cincinnati) or Quince (San Francisco) but not able to get a glass of water. That said, it’s worth listening and reading separately.
