Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for 13-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in dying Cold War England, 1982. But the 13 chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell's subtlest and most effective achievement to date.

a good story read terribly
Revisado: 06-24-15
its a tribute to David Mitchell's writing that I managed to listen to this book to the end. The story takes place in England and the characters are all English. so why choose a narrator that sounds like a Canadian who went on holiday to Manchester and took elecution lessons from the Queen - sorry Kirby I'm sure you're a nice bloke but the reading was dismal!!

Cathy Wilkerson, who famously escaped the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, here wrestles with the legacy of the movement, at times finding contradictions that many others have avoided: the absence of women’s voices then, and in the retelling; the incompetence and the egos; the hundreds of bombs detonated in protest which caused little loss of life but which were also ineffective in fomenting revolution.

probably better to read the book
Revisado: 03-18-15
the book itself had some excellent, interesting analysis of the movement and times. particularly from a female perspective. Unfortunately I struggled with the monotonal delivery and would recommend reading rather than listening to this book - sorry Cathy!
