Love Murakami - Struggled with this Narrator
- De Harry Bartle en 11-30-22
He never fails his readers
Revisado: 11-22-22
I have read AND listened to all Haruki Muakami’s books at least twice and they have all given me great joy and pleasure. Of course I have my favorites but that is for a longer conversation. It was fascinating to find out his process and thoughts behind his writings. Much I found very similar to the process of making sculptures.
I think anyone who is interested in literature or Mr Murakami’s literature or just writing in general -well this book is for you!!
You must excuse me - as I say when I lecture about my own work - English is not my first language- art is!!

Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children. Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend.

Beautiful writing
Revisado: 08-12-22
Lynne Tillman captures so many emotions with her beautiful writing. I felt joy, sadness, and sometimes even horror, so vividly while listening to this book. It was as if I was with her on her powerful journey of caring for a parent. Anyone who has had a similar experience will see their feelings articulated in her work. Lynne Tillman is on of the most important writers of our time, and deserves even more recognition and exposure. I wish all of her work was available on Audible!

So upsetting - because it had such potential
Revisado: 08-16-20
This is heartbreaking to read because one knows by the end of the first chapter it is written by Meg. And that might necessarily not be a bad thing, in fact it could be great, but it is not. It is sugar coated like a fairy tale through their initial love story. And from there Saint Meg never puts a foot wrong. It is rather sad to read. We all make mistakes, this is human, and to admit our wrongs makes everyone love us all the more! But the only people that make mistakes in this book are the people that surround Meg and Harry. Especially Prince William and their sister-in-law Kate.
I could go on but I rather have you read it for yourself and make up your own minds. That is always the best way to my thinking! I hope your opinion is more favorable then mine.
They had such a great opportunity here and could have written something really honest and very truthful. Something that would have moved the world. More like Michelle Obama’s terrific book!
Maybe their next book will come closer to the mark?

When celebrated writer Joan Didion’s life was altered forever, she wrote a new chapter. In this adaptation of her iconic memoir, Didion transforms the story of the shattering loss of her husband and their daughter into a one-woman play performed by Tony Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, who originated the role on Broadway in 2007.

Do not miss this gem of an American Classic! I have read it twice, but hearing it read by Vanessa Redgrave adds something special! Her interpretation is beyond “incredibly beautiful”.

Excellent -A must read!
Revisado: 04-18-20
This is a must read for any young artist, or anyone who is curious about art, any collector or person who has thought they might like to be an artist -who knows you might just be the next great Picasso!
This whole book rang really true. Wish I had had such a book when starting out in NY in the late seventies. In a very interesting way it reminded me a great deal of Rainer Maria Rilke’s book “Letters to a Young Poet”. And I thought what a great gift to give these two books to any artist just beginning a serious life in arts.

It was a strange story. Not sure it was worth the time unless you are multi tasking. But the performance by Kathleen Chalfant was excellent and captivating.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Life is short - this book is too long!
Although very interesting, this book needs a good editor!! The facts were repeated twice or sometimes three times. And then again in the epilogue!
