It is three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the site are the pilot’s bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

Brilliant writing, great performance
Revisado: 02-02-23
The same brilliant writing seen in The Road. The story is perhaps less engaging, less immediate, more retrospective and thought provoking. All and all a joy to read/listen to.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 198
In John Updike's fourth and final novel about ex-basketball player Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, the hero has acquired heart trouble, a Florida condo, and a second grandchild. His son, Nelson, is behaving erratically; his daughter-in-law, Pru, is sending out mixed signals; and his wife, Janice, decides in mid-life to become a working girl. As, though the winter, spring, and summer of 1989, Reagan's debt-ridden, AIDS-plagued America yields to that of George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age.

Marvelous Writing
Revisado: 09-01-13
Would you listen to Rabbit at Rest again? Why?
Beautifully written. Every paragraph is written from heart with a gem hidden in a sentence or two. Have finished reading/listening to the four Rabbit books and listening to Rabbit Remembered now thinking these books are certainly among the best of American writings.
What does Arthur Morey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The reader makes the whole experience even more pleasurable. Could not have been performed better. Warm and beautiful voice with deliberate, exact and faithful reading of the text. Wonderful.

Edward O. Wilson is one of the world’s preeminent biologists, a Pulitzer Prize winner, and the author of more than 25 books. The defining work in a remarkable career, The Social Conquest of Earth boldly addresses age-old questions (Where did we come from? What are we? Where are we going?) while delving into the biological sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts.

What made the experience of listening to The Social Conquest of Earth the most enjoyable?
Just wanted to comment on the reader. Even though I thought the reading of the text was a bit annoying at the beginning, I have come to love the way the book is read. Excellent performance.
