About this listen
This program is read by the author and Tea Leoni, with their daughter, West Duchovny.
New York Times best-selling author David Duchovny reimagines the Irish mythological figure of Emer in Miss Subways, a darkly comic fantasy love story set in New York City.
Emer is just a woman living in New York City who takes the subway, buys ice cream from the bodega on the corner, has writerly aspirations, and lives with her boyfriend, Con. But is this life she lives the only path she’s on?
Taking inspiration from the myth of Emer and Cuchulain and featuring an all-star cast of mythical figures from all over the world, David Duchovny’s darkly funny fantasy audiobook Miss Subways is one woman’s trippy, mystical journey down parallel tracks of time and love. On the way, Emer will battle natural and supernatural forces to find her true voice, power, and destiny.
A fairy tale of love lost and regained, Miss Subways is also a love letter to the city that enchants us all: New York.

Story
Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that—her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God—and what the Box God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core.

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a little person as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art. The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity.

We All Deserve to be Miss Subways
I may be in love with the book in the same way I am in love with magic, wishes and good conversations, in the same way that I am in love with the absurd and the strange, in the same way I am in love with love and courtship and friendship and the everafter, in the same way I am in love with life itself.
In this strange fairytale of myth and legend. We meet Emer and Con, two people who are perfect for each other and destined to be together. On the journey, there's a crow and a Celtic fairy little person and Duchovny addresses what it means to be a teacher, a learner, a spiritual person, a lover, a daughter, a father and, finally, what it means to live our lives to the fullest, the way that our lives are supposed to be lived.
If you've ever been to NYC, I promise you won't look at it the same way again.
I'd also suggest reading these other books: Smythology, Infinite Jest and American Gods. They are all wonderfully strange and peculiar tales of living and dying and loving and losing. They, like this book, will play with your interpretation of reality and your ideas and definitions of what makes us human. They will make you laugh and cry and gaffah.
I enjoyed this journey.

Brilliant
It was a joy to listen to. A modern mythology of sorts. Certainly not traditional

David Duchovny in my ear for 6+ hours?
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of writing. I hadn't thought of Duchovny as a writer - just as Mulder all these years. The writing was fantastic - the descriptives made it so that I could picture what he was describing, and the turn of phrase often made me laugh out loud which produced some curious glances from my coworkers. Definitely worth the read! Now I want to read all his books!

He’s done it again!
Yet another gripping tale from David Duchovny! Masterful. Imaginative. Enthralling. Sexy. Highly original. Extremely deep and intelligent content.

An adult fairytale
DD has written an extraordinary fairytale for modern adults living in a world where magic is everywhere but we’re too blind to see. The story is complex and lovely and the performances are terrific. I can’t say enough good things about it. Congratulations, David. Please keep writing.

Enjoyable
Duchovny’s witty and self-deprecating humor shines through in both Emer and Con. Their flaws are both frustrating, endearing, and relatable. I’m not sure if Duchovny drew inspiration from Gaiman’s American Gods, however the lesser characters’ backgrounds are not at the forefront of this story.
It was nice to hear Leoni’s voice played as Emer speaking to other characters. She was able to capture the emotional nuances that Duchovny described. West Duchovny’s voice sprinkled into the book were like an Amazon package arriving at my door— I knew she voiced, but just didn’t know when to expect her reciting a quote.
Is this book as enjoyable as his previous book Bucky F’n Dent? Yes.
Would I listen to this book again? Maybe not. I’ve re-listened to Bucky F’n Dent.

Best!
I read Miss Subways back when it first came out, but have always wanted to do a reread. Fast forward to now, where I finally cave and get audible, and decide I might time for thus reread if I get the audiobook.
So I do.
And I am forever grateful I did!
He does his story full justice, and I loved every moment of it! It is fast paced, witty, sarcastic, and so so clever.
I also adore Tea Leoni, so that was an additional bonus.
Mr Duchovny has proven himself quite the writer. The story world depends on true storytellers like this.

Beautifully crafted novel
I had no idea that David Duchovny was a writer until a friend posted an article by him. Since the pandemic started, I've been into audiobooks so I can do other things with my hands - crafts, mindless games, etc - and I love both Duchovny and Leoni as actors so I decided to buy the book. As a writer myself, I wasn't really expecting a literary novel so imagine my surprise when this was exactly that. Duchovny reads a tad too fast for what this is and there is so much to ingest and think about - I need a physical copy. Nice to know Duchovny isn't simply beautiful and now I must purchase the other books (except the one with baseball - I just hate sports) and also take out my mythology books and take a look. I may want to teach this at some point so I'm going to need the physical copy. I have far too many books and I've been investing in a digital library - but I need a physical copy if I'm going to teach it - and I think I'd teach this one for craft... the plot isn't nonlinear as much as it is multilinear - read the book. It'll make sense.

Wonderful, whimsical, witty
I’ve always had a soft spot for magical realism as a writing style. That’s what this reminds me of - “Like Water for Chocolate”, but with much more depth and substance. And I love the last line - not “The” End, “An” End. Beautiful.
