In his highly anticipated debut essay collection, Impossible Owls, Brian Phillips demonstrates why he's one of the most iconoclastic journalists of the digital age, beloved for his ambitious, off-kilter, meticulously reported essays. The eight essays assembled here go beyond simply chronicling some of the modern world's most uncanny, unbelievable, and spectacular oddities. Researched for months and even years on end, they explore the interconnectedness of the globalized world, the consequences of history, the power of myth, and the ways people attempt to find meaning.

Could not stop listening...
Revisado: 10-03-18
Some of the stories try a bit hard to 'connect' owls, and some of the sentences could be shorter ;), but overall very well written and a joy to listen to! Mr. Menasche does a really good job of keeping you engaged--in fact he sells the story so well that I think I liked the writing better than I did.

For two first-class years, Joan Freeley had it all: the perfect family, the best art dealer in Manhattan, and the admiration of famous friends. Her adoring husband and two handsome sons attended her first gallery show in matching khakis and blue blazers. "An Interesting Talent Makes Its Debut," declared the New York Times. Then, as if her success were nothing more than a booking error, Joan's life got downgraded. A brutal divorce led to paintings too bitter to sell and a career stuck firmly in coach.

If you could sum up The Art Fair in three words, what would they be?
Art, new york, oedipus.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Art Fair?
Watching an artist rise and fall is difficult, but watching the ones who love her endure this is wrenching.
Which character – as performed by Steven Menasche – was your favorite?
The son. Actually, all the characters were really embodied by the actor. Mr. Menasche is good, real good. He never rushed any part of this book and his pacing allowed me to digest parts as they went. Now that the book is over, I want to hear more of his voice and more of this story.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Art can eat you up.
Any additional comments?
Listen to this book. A great listen to a life that most of don't have and probably don't want.
