Kathleen Held’s life is turned upside down when she arrives home to find her house on fire and her husband on the front lawn in his underwear. But the scandal that emerges is not that Bill, who's running for Senate, is having a painfully cliched affair with one of his young staffers: it's that the eyewitness photographing the scene accidentally captures a period stain on the back of Kathleen’s pants.

Fun & fluffy, but w things to think & talk about
Revisado: 05-07-23
Excellent narration.
Most fun premise I've come across in a while.
This almost makes me wish my book club didn't choose books a year at a time because there's much here that would be a lot of fun to discuss, preferably with something light and bubbly. But don't think the entire story is fluff. From response to infidelity to what we expect/tolerate of our politicians, from cancel culture to who has your back when things go bad, & taking care of kids when families fall apart -- there is much here for good discussion.

Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. Here, Miles speaks out about his extraordinary life. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. For the first time Miles talks about his five-year silence. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how he overcame it. He condemns the racism he encountered in the music business and in American society generally. And he discusses the women in his life.

Fantastic.

This was the audiobook that hooked me on auto/biographies. I prefer novels for reading, but the experience of being told someone's story by either that person or a narrator changes the dynamic for me. Even after a number of others, this is the example I give of enjoying the giving of voice to a biography.
I did have to stop listening to this during my morning commute though. I was afraid that the ubiquitous colorful language would carry into the office with me along with the story, and that would not have been good. :)
The sections of the ins and outs of who was in the band for this performance or recording or the next went on a little longer than necessary, but I'm sure that was my own lack of appreciation for more of the talented people discussed. Overall, I loved this.

Haunting
Revisado: 08-06-18
I was in a discussion recently about what makes a good audiobook and realized this one had a lingering haunting quality to it that others didn't. I enjoyed it at the time but have since then realized it stayed with me in ways I would not have expected.
