wonderful book. Comic edge but full of heart

Revisado: 04-10-25

There are some laugh out loud bits,but inside of them are encounters with life and death. Characters are well drawn and likeable., dialogue is fast and clever. Great writing, great narration. I'm sorry the book wasn't twice as long.
Hightly recommend.

Haunting and beautifully told

Revisado: 05-16-24

Unlike most post-apocalypse novels, this one has no warring humans, no bad guys. Instead, its characters live in the natural world, and are fully a part of the nature around them, while surviving, loving, and grieving,
The text moves gracefully between exact descriptions of the natural world and mythic interactions with animals.
Excellent narration.

The book is still with me. I highly recommend it.

I came across Beckett’s, Endgame as a teenager. It didn’t make any sense to me at all. And I was fascinated. I started reading other works by Beckett with the same results, no idea what was going on but I was drawn in as a want to be writer, trying to understand how literature worked. Beckett.
led me to other French writers of that time, iAll of it was exotic and mysterious. it would’ve been so much easier to work through Beckett’s works then f I’d had this short introduction. And now, after not having read Beckett for 50 some yearsI’m inclined to go back and reread some of the works that left me baffled and excited when I was young. Maybe I’ll even understand it somewhat.

A classic well done.

The story is timeless and sad in what it says about our love of war. I disagreed with the criticism of the narrator. It was presented as a very old text, not a dramatic, enactment, and I think Mitchell did extremely well in both the translation and the narration. I listen to the sample to make sure you agree.

The best book ever listen to in a long time.

Beautifully written, wonderfully performed by the narrator, an astonishing retelling of myth, and a pleasure.

I’ve listen ed to a number of Strathern’s 90 minute podcasts. This struck me as one of the best. Narration is perfect and I wish the reader would record a full reading of ulysses l. Particularly good if listened to before, or after reading one of Joyce’s novels.
