About this listen

On an Illinois farm in the 1920s, a man is murdered, and in the same moment the tenous friendship between two lonely boys comes to an end. In telling their interconnected stories, American Book Award-winner William delivers a masterfully restrained and magically evocative meditation on the past.

Whilst this was a beautifully written short story, it didn't move me at all. I was hoping for Annie Prolix but the way the story jumped around and seemed to take detours left me feeling disappointed.

The narration by the author didn't help and I think a professional narrator could have done the story justice.

Appreciate that Maxwell is in his older years reading this but the narration makes this really hard to get into - very flat. Think it would be well served with a voice actor.

This is the first William Maxwell book I have read. It’s short but a real treasure. Part memoir and part imagined story from his childhood. So moving and deep. Great narration from the author and a very interesting interview with him as a bonus.

Best to save the interview with William Maxwell until you have completed the book.
