"A different league...The readers grab your attention at the start of every tale and never let go." ( The Guardian)

This performance was marred by each story merging into the next one without a break. It was so immediate that words were incomplete at the end a chapter and cut again in the new story. Extremely frustrating! I hope it does not happen with all short stories? Thank you.

Very annoying?

Most stories worth listening to--some better skipped. Most performances are neutrally competent.
Poor production: all stories are simply run together end-on-end, without even a second's pause (very disconcerting);
there are no notes whatsoever on stories, authors or performers.

Mixed

The only story I really liked was Haruki Murakami's. The rest were all British authors writing blandly about infidelity and divorce. Any chance each story had of leaving me with the spine-tingle of insight at the end was mercilessly squashed by splicing the next story's title immediately on top of the finishing line of the last. Not worth the time.

Bland and poorly spliced

These stories are well written and interesting despite being light years apart in theme, characterizations and story telling. Very enjoyable.

Excellent collection of contemporary stories

Most of these stories seem to have been written at least 20 years ago, perhaps even longer. They were mostly a type of entertainment that you used to find in the Saturday Evening Post back in the 50's and 60's - breezy, light and eminently forgettable. With so many excellent stories being written within the last 10-15 years, it's really a shame.
But it's hard to tell much about them because of the way Audible (or whoever produced this audio collection) presents the stories. There's no table of contents available, so you don't know what's coming next or even what the authors or titles are, except for the major names advertised (Lessing and Murikami). When you're listening, there is no way to skip from one story to the next - and final insult - no gap between the readings. I would at least like a slight pause to ponder the final line before hearing the title and author of the next story, but it's like some idiot technician just spliced the stories together just to save space. Shameful!

Not very modern collection
