But there are summery memories, as well. . . . Some of the loveliest sentences in the text—and there are many—are illuminated by love. . . . A consummate professional explores the attic of his life, converting rumination to art.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus (starred review) \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Paul Auster's narration quickly engages the listener as he shares this very personal examination of his life. He effectively modulates pitch and tone as he recounts milestones and victories with an audible smile and sadly reflects upon tragedies and losses. His pacing varies appropriates from brisk to pensive, and his pleasing baritone adds an extra layer of richness to the presentation. Listeners familiar with the author's previous body of work will recognize his trademark quirkiness and highly individual style…Hearing these reminiscences and musings in the author's own voice enhances the intimacy and authenticity of this enjoyable listening experience.” —\u003ci\u003eAudioFile Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781427225764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"CD-Audio","offer_id":40648149565646,"sku":"9781427225764","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_bc93194b-687f-4722-ae05-5e2d3397f516.jpg?v=1639191152","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781427225764","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
