In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

I wish I hadn’t read it so it would all be waiting for me anew. In fact, I think I’ll listen to it again right now!

From celebrated New York Times best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Rick Bragg comes a poignant and wryly funny collection of essays on life in the South. Keenly observed and written with his insightful and deadpan sense of humor, Bragg explores enduring Southern truths about home, place, spirit, table, and the regions' varied geographies, including his native Alabama, Cajun country, and the Gulf Coast.

Exceeds 5 stars!
Revisado: 10-15-16
I'd give this collection more than five stars if it were possible! I've enjoyed many of them before, but hearing them in the author's own voice takes them to a deeper level.

Guidall Reads Another Winner

- Remember Ben Clayton
- De: Stephen Harrigan
- Narrado por: George Guidall
Wonderful Beginning
Revisado: 03-08-13
Would you consider the audio edition of Remember Ben Clayton to be better than the print version?
Yes. Guidall is spellbinding as a crusty Texas rancher, and his French accent is equally compelling.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending was too long coming. I felt like there were too many little stories and that better editing would have contributed to a stronger novel.
Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?
Rancher Clayton
If you could take any character from Remember Ben Clayton out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Mostly I would have enjoyed attending the cattlemen's convention and listening to all their stories. That was an especially strong part of the book.
