About this listen
As David comes to adulthood, enlightened and enlivened at various points by an unforgettable triumvirate of intoxicating women, he realizes he must come to terms with his forefathers' rapacious destruction of the wood of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, as well as the working people who made their wealth possible. With over 30 years of searching for the truth of what his family has done and trying to make amends, David looks close at the root of his father's evil, and threatens, like Icarus, to destroy himself.

From her home on the California coast, Dalva hears the broad silence of the Nebraska prairie where she was born, and longs for the son she gave up for adoption years before. Beautiful, fearless, tormented, at 45 she has lived a life of lovers and adventures.

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison (1937-2016) was a writer with a poet’s economy of style and trencherman’s appetites and ribald humor. In The Search for the Genuine, a collection of new and previously published essays, the giant of letters muses on everything from grouse hunting and fishing to Zen Buddhism and matters of the spirit, including reported pieces on Yellowstone and shark-tagging in the open ocean, commentary on writers from Bukowski to Neruda to Peter Matthiessen, and a heartbreaking essay on life on the US/Mexico border.

If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

Other insults piled on apace thereafter: the spasms of Pentecostal Sunday worship; the social debilitation of following his parents' itinerant rug-shampooing business; the erotic initiation at the hands of his aunt. It's hard to imagine what would have become of him had he not gone to medical school.

He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt.

Their plans were conceived in a drunken excitement and resulted in more horror than any of them could have imagined. There was the poet able to retreat into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams; the Vietnam vet consumed by uppers, downers, and violence; and the girl who loved only one of them - at first. With their ideals ostensibly in order, they set out from Florida to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believed was being built. Along with the tape deck for the car, the liquor, and the drugs, there was also a case of dynamite.

In sparkling prose, with more than a touch of humor, he recalls the joys of landing that trout he's been watching for the last hour—and then losing an even fatter one a little later. Joy and frustration mix in Gierach's latest appreciation of the fly-fishing life as he takes us from his home waters on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado to fishing meccas all over North America.

A deep look at human nature and frailty
A gritty story that seems to contain elements from all three stories in Harrison's Legends Of The Fall collection. Harrison exposes the flaws every individual struggles with in their own character, some more than others.

Deep thoughts
I just found this author and need more. So much to think about here. Not just a story, but a saga of love and hate, of money and poverty, of class and race and exploitation. I want to meet the main character and the author, the sister, the ex wife. I need to pet the dog. I will listen again.

Too much erotica
Too much erotica and the story is slow. I listened to it to sleep as the narrator’s voice is soothing. So, I didn’t hear all of the book. I was not compelled to back up and listen to all of it. What I did hear was very slow or full of explicit sex. Don’t need it.

A Powerful Ending
Overall, very, very good, albeit a bit slow moving in places. The story is dominated by brooding self introspection on the part of the main character. However, the events that comprise the body of the story capture the listener’s attention. The characterizations are deeply drawn so that, by the end, we come to know and love them like old friends, not the least of these being Clara, the beloved dog. The ending is very satisfying, powerful, and explosive. I look forward to starting book 2 next.
