On the Day of the Dead, in 1938, Geoffrey Firmin, an alcoholic and ruined man, is fatefully living out his last day, drowning himself in mescal while his former wife and half-brother look on, powerless to help him. The events of this one day unfold against a backdrop unforgettable for its evocation of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.

Difficult novel, rewarding
Revisado: 03-25-23
Difficult novel, a painful evocation of suffering, alcoholism, self-destruction, and demise, but such beautiful and unforgettable prose, it certainly deserves its fame. The narrator on the audio edition is excellent. Reading the text while listening is recommended.

In this irreverent and illuminating audiobook, acclaimed writer and scientist Leonard Mlodinow shows us how randomness, chance, and probability reveal a tremendous amount about our daily lives, and how we misunderstand the significance of everything from a casual conversation to a major financial setback. As a result, successes and failures in life are often attributed to clear and obvious causes, when in actuality they are more profoundly influenced by chance.

Drunkard's Walk for a Sober Mind
Revisado: 12-22-13
What did you love best about The Drunkard's Walk?
Mlodinow's work is an accessible, well written (and well read) introduction to the concept of randomness, a sober reminder of the often forgotten or unrecognized determinants of outcomes and our deeply flawed understanding of them. Essential and rewarding reading for anyone interested in honing their critical thinking.
