In the face of a slow but impending apocalypse, what binds three seemingly divergent lives (a writer, a photographer, an old man), isn’t the commonality of a perceived future death, but the layered and complex fabric of how loss, abuse, trauma, and death have shaped their pasts, and how these pasts continue to haunt their present moments, a moment in which time seems to be running out.

The Perfect Audible Book
Revisado: 04-02-24
This innovative novel is like none I have read, or listened to, before. Each chapter feels like a carpet ride on a character's stream of consciousness. It reads like a living AND dying memory that is both ethereal and tangible at the same time, or a literary dance that moves from a floating, lyrical ballet to a ceremonial Haka. I especially love the voices of the animals, whether wild birds and bears, stray cats, or "The Dog", a companion pet, as they brought grounding and wisdom to the inexorable relationship between humans and the world. Their perspectives, mixed with the voices of nature on a seemingly failing planet, and the emotionally excruciating narratives of The Writer, The Photographer, and The Old Man, are brought to life by the wonderful Audible narrator's interpretation and expressive voice. As I listened to her read I gasped, I begged, I held my breath, until the very last word. It was the perfect Audible book!
