A sidesplitting, heartrending look at life—and death. This powerfully personal production, recorded live from the Minetta Lane Theatre, cuts through the platitudes, directly reaching out to anyone who has ever experienced loss—or will. So...everyone.

A Must Listen for the Grieving
- De Chris en 09-25-23
Seems wrong to criticize, but...
Revisado: 02-10-24
I'm a grief junkie. I listen to and read and watch a lot about grief and end of life. Maybe I'm just not a stand-up-comedy kind of person, but this piece just didn't feel very substantive... or funny. He seemed arrogant, more than anything, like he was teaching us something about Life that no one but him was smart enough to know. I won't recommend this to anyone.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 2
After her mother's death, Robinson was thrilled to find her beloved grandfather's diaries - only to discover that he had been a Nazi. The diaries show Api, a doctor in Berlin, trying to help the wounded in bunkers without water or light. Living in the ruins, he himself was near collapse. As Robinson retraces Api's steps half a century later, she tries to come up with answers to why he joined the Nazi party and reflect on German guilt while also remembering the happiest years of her childhood with him.

The year is 2048. Climate change and bio-warfare have ravaged much of the Earth, and societal meltdown has splintered the US into fragments. But out of the ruins, Northern California has built a thriving culture based on respect for the four sacred things: air, fire, water and earth.

Spectacular, Powerful and Problematic
Revisado: 04-16-22
Fabulous narration, with deep emotion and varied characterization. Disturbing content detracted from otherwise-rich story.

There’s more to the swamplands than meets the teeth. In this supernatural tale of magic and mysticism, Henry Lemarchand grew up in Philadelphia knowing very little of his family—his father disappeared when he was young, leaving behind only a strange pouch of animal teeth. When he is sent to the Louisiana bayou to spend the summer with his eccentric uncle and cousin in their decaying ancestral mansion, Henry learns about his family’s supernatural legacy.

A fascinating world of mediocre writing
Revisado: 12-21-19
The storyline is interesting enough, but the writing and narration are both subpar. If either one were better, it could easily make up for the other, but combined it makes for a tedious listening experience.

interesting characters, self-indulgent author
Revisado: 10-12-19
Part memoir, part Psych 101 textbook. Would have stopped reading, but was invested in characters.

How can we ever be sure that we really know the other? To test the limits of our ability to inhabit lives that are not our own, Charles Foster set out to know the ultimate other: the nonhumans, the beasts. And to do that, he tried to be like them, choosing a badger, an otter, a fox, a deer, and a swift.

I wanted to read this book since I heard an interview with the author on NPR. I got the audiobook to listen to while I drive. Alas, that was dangerous, as it quickly put me to sleep.
The premise is fascinating, and then the author tries too hard to be brilliant and clever. I wanted to know what he experienced, and what he learned from that experience. Instead, he goes on and on with semi-witty metaphors (which I usually love) and over-long descriptions of what worms taste like.
Maybe it's better to read while lounging in a hammock, when falling asleep wouldn't be so dangerous. Or when I could re-read the lengthy sentences to fully grasp what he's going on about. I'll add it to the list of books to try again.
