Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959-1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive comedy of blending, identity, and politics.

Audible should always warn you. I don’t want stupid audio actions in a book. Let us know!

When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borl ú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined. Borl must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own.

Brilliant, exciting, metaphysical slightly SF noir
Revisado: 08-06-18
Whether you like China Mievlille or not (I often find him a bit prolix and a bit excessive), this novel is stand-alone great. This book is based on an amazing idea which Mieville completely pulls off -- the two Balkan cities sharing the same geography but studiously careful not to acknowledge each other, so that the Berlin or Nicosia Wall that divides them is completely internalized -- a great first-person noirish narrator, who sustains comparison with Chandler's Marlowe and even Hammett's Continental Op, a wonderful story and a perfect ending. And John Lee's performance is perfect.

The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.

Depressing and necessary

An extremely important book delineating our current moment through striking and sobering comparisons to the European history of the 20th century.

Robert Browning was perhaps the most prolific and versatile English poet of the 19th century, and this recording offers a generous selection from Browning’s work, ranging in style form the shorter lyrical poems to the vivid characteristics and perceptive insights of the dramatic monologues, three of which are included here in their entirety. Available for the first time as a digital download.

The only problem is no titles, but they're listed on the audible website, in the publisher's summary, just where you're reading this review
