Published originally as "The Soul of Man Under Socialism," this is not so much a work of sober political analysis; rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labour, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism... "Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing."

Distracting narration
Revisado: 08-30-20
Couldn’t follow the story so well. The affected narration was distracting. Recommend to audible to be more sensitive, less heavy handed in choice of narrators for classics.

Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxendene is pulling his life back together after his uncle's death and has come to work at the powwow to honor his uncle's memory. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil, who has taught himself traditional Indian dance through YouTube videos and will perform in public for the very first time. There will be glorious communion and a spectacle of sacred tradition and pageantry. And there will be sacrifice, and heroism, and loss.

Untouchable! Profound work of new literature.
Revisado: 07-30-20
This understated story resonates deeply in one’s gut. You won’t ever view America or especially Oakland, Ca. the same again afterwards. When it finishes, you will want to go back, and start again immediately at the beginning to know and feel each character a second time more deeply. Pay attention to the names of the characters as the subplots of this sometimes connected clan move quickly.

Kerouac examines his own New York life in a collection of colorful essays. Always transfixed by Neal Cassady—here named Cody Pomeray—along with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, Kerouac also explores the feelings he had for a man who inspired much of his work. Transcribing taped conversations between members of their group as they took drugs and drank, Visions of Cody reveals an intimate portrait of people caught up in destructive relationships with substances, and one another, capturing the members of the Beat Generation in the years before any label had been affixed to them.

Jazz & organ music accompanied the reading--ahhh!
Revisado: 03-02-19
WHY WHY WHY? Kerouac liked jazz but do I have to listen to mixed music when hearing Kerouac's story. WHY is the narrator of this quintessential American fiction British? Want SO much to hear this story. Made 3 attempts and then finally threw in the towel. Hoping Audible will read this and release a Visions of Cody version with no music and a Kerouac style narrator. Thank you Audible. SO WONDERFUL to be back in touch with Jack!!

Before McDonald's and Holiday Inn, Jack was on the road with his friends, when interstate highways were a novelty and going coast to coast was just for fun. Jack was pre-Vietnam, more 1950s edgy than 1960s politically correct. He loved Keats and Eliot as he sang the praises of the Odes and "The Wasteland", bars and saloons, writers and barkeeps - all about equally, according to the author, who narrates about his short time with Jack on the road.

The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Quietly stunning
Revisado: 08-30-12
Written in the interspersed voices of three daughters and a mother transplanted to the Congo, this story sews its soul into you slowly. By the later chapters, your find your seams have become one with those of these women. Kingsolver gradually lays bare the American complicity in self-serving African politics, rending our hearts along with those of the Price women and the Congo. Yet, the novel leaves the door of hope open. Like those of Pearl Buck, these characters and this Central African country, will haunt a section of your consciousness for a long time.
