On the morning of August 12, 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black—black clothes, black mask—rushed down the aisle toward him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it’s you. Here you are. What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond.

A Contemplation Worth a Listen
Revisado: 04-18-24
It is a good listen, especially when narrated by Salman Rushdie himself. He has a great voice that I have found to be heartfelt and engaging. I would recommend listen to Joseph Anton first, then maybe the essays, and then this. There is a meaningful consistency in that order

Salman Rushdie is celebrated as “a master of perpetual storytelling” (The New Yorker), illuminating truths about our society and culture through his gorgeous, often searing prose. Now, in his latest collection of nonfiction, he brings together insightful and inspiring essays, criticism, and speeches that focus on his relationship with the written word and solidify his place as one of the most original thinkers of our time.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 766
I Am, I Am, I Am is Maggie O'Farrell's astonishing memoir of the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life. The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter - for whom this book was written - from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers.

A short story about the depth of simple goodness
Revisado: 01-17-23
The narration was great. The story relatable and reflective. I feel like there are many similarities in Irish stories, but they also serve as a reminder that simple understanding and kindness could make us all better people

Grandpa and Noah are sitting on a bench in a square that keeps getting smaller every day. The square is strange but also familiar, full of the odds and ends that have made up their lives: Grandpa's work desk, the stuffed dragon that Grandpa once gave to Noah, the sweet-smelling hyacinths that Grandma loved to grow in her garden.

Predictable from the start
Revisado: 12-23-22
I finished this because I started it, not because I found it amusing or special. The performance was very good, but the storyline was a bit cringeworthy.

Tonight, Osmond Box, the reclusive yet wildly successful writer/director known for his completely surprising Broadway plays, is debuting his seventh and most highly anticipated production of his career: The Guilty. Nothing is known about the story, the setting, the premise, or even the actors involved. The first people to discover the truth will be the lucky ones sitting in those seats opening night.

A cheesy waste of time
Revisado: 12-13-22
This play/audio has been so cheesy, and so dumb that I would rate it as the worst piece of audio that I've heard. James Patterson has definitely won by getting that check. This is not worth anybody time.

loose Plot
Revisado: 01-12-22
This was entertaining, but the plot has many holes in it. The story is just alright. the performances, depends on the characters. The father, Head of Detectives, is great. Not a fan of the performance by the main character, not believable at all. Out of place sighs made the whole thing sound less professional.
I wouldn't recommend this. I only listened to it while doing laundry and was not worth my time.
