Moving and well narrated

With Eyes Wide Open is a story that captures you in many ways, through suspense, empathy, surprise, disgust, guilt. The story is told with the right tone, taking us back to a South Carolina town where a hard working black man does not stand a chance in front of society amd judicial prejudices. The characters are well depicted and developed. It is a great novel!

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants.

Stoner is an amazing character not rare in Academic life. An insightful portait into a ‘failed’ life. A masterpiece

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 60
La hipotética presencia de una grabadora, de un interlocutor (o de un "lector"), sirve de pauta para un largo monólogo a través del cual desfilan momentos de una vida en los bajos fondos y submundos de la ciudad de México. La adolescencia prematura, la presión social, la homosexualidad, la prostitución, la enfermedad y el hastío son las etapas, vistas retrospectivamente, de la vida de este vampiro urbano.

Un clásico de la narrativa contracultural mexicana

Excelente interpretación del audionarrador que nos transporta a la voz de Adonis García y a sus peripecias mientras talibesba. Magnifica producción que capta la personalidad de este clásico. El epílogo de Julián Herbert es fabuloso y sitúa maravillosamente al texto

El mejor libro de Vargas Llosa

Great classic, narrated effectively
Reviewed: 01-29-21
This is probably one of the best novels in audioformat. This is a literary masterpiece that is exquisitely narrated by Johan Gamarra, one of the voices in another audiobook of Vargad Llosa, La ciudad y los perros. I was mesmerized by this oral version of Conversacion en la catedral!!! Well done
