Mo Yan and Lu Xun pieces were great

Revisado: 02-21-23

I really enjoyed the Mo Yan and Lu Xun podcasts. I thought they added great context to some complicated works of modern Chinese literature. The two narrators are clearly in their element and having fun, but are also incredibly knowledgeable about the subject. I am.looking forward to digging deeper into these podcasts

An inspiring story that is just as relevant today as when the events first happened and when the book was first released..

A stirring story

Revisado: 08-13-21

I enjoyed this book the first time I read it years ago, and I found it just as riveting years later. A powerful story of Kenyan independence and the anti-colonial struggle, but also how devastating colonialism was to the African people. Ngugi should've already won the Nobel Prize for the bodybof his work. Maybe one day.

Fun Story and Cautionary Tale

Revisado: 05-20-21

For those who like the 1920's, this book was a fun ride with the major figures of the literati. It is also a tale of excess that becomes clear in the last chapters. A good read for fans of these authors.

Excellent History of Sun Ra

Revisado: 01-10-21

Loved this book. A great story of one of Jazz's most enigmatic figures. After this book, I feel I have a closer connection to Sun Ra and haven't stopped listening to his music since. Fantastic read and great narration.

My fave

Revisado: 03-03-20

My grandmother first introduced me to Dorothy Parker through her poetry, and I'm forever grateful. A great collection of her work. Love thevbiography at the beginning, and love that a small royalty check still goes to the NAACP. Love Dorthy Parker.

exciting story of resistance

Revisado: 02-13-20

in a time of rising anti-Semitism, this story is a great reminder that people should fight back against hatred. these men were Heroes, and it's good to hear them getting long overdue credit for fighting the Nazis, especially the ones that were living right here.

incredible

Revisado: 08-16-19

I did not know what to expect when I chose this performance, but I thought it was incredible. The story of Scott Joplin and blind man Boone was so fascinating. Not to mention the Opera at the end. This was a fantastic choice, and I will listen to it again and again.

Excellent history of a great man

Revisado: 08-01-19

Blight's biography of Frederick Douglass was a fascinating story. inspiring storytelling that seems to be just as relevant today as is message and life were when he died. this book will certainly go down as the greatest biography of Frederick Douglass to date.
