    Publisher's Summary:
    Joe Allston is a retired literary agent who is, in his own words, "killing time before time gets around to killing me." His parents and his only son are long dead, leaving him with neither ancestors nor descendants, tradition nor ties. His job, trafficking the talent of others, had not been his choice. He passes through life as a spectator. But a postcard from a friend causes him to return to the journals of a trip he had taken years before. The memories of that trip to his mother's birthplace move through layers of time and meaning, and reveal that Joe Allston isn't quite spectator enough.

  • The Wapshot Chronicle Audiobook by John Cheever
    Listen to this audiobook free with a 30-day trial. Go to http://hotaudiobook.com/free
    Title: The Wapshot Chronicle
    Author: John Cheever
    Narrator: Joe Barrett
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 17 hrs and 2 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 08-11-09
    Publisher: Audible Studios
    Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 60 votes
    Genres: Fiction, Literary
    Publisher's Summary:
    When The Wapshot Chronicle was published in 1957, John Cheever was already recognized as a writer of superb short stories. But The Wapshot Chronicle, which won the 1958 National Book Award, established him as a major novelist.
    Based in part on Cheever's adolescence in New England, the novel follows the destinies of the impecunious and wildly eccentric Wapshots of St. Botolphs, a quintessential Massachusetts fishing village. Here are the stories of Captain Leander Wapshot, venerable sea dog and would-be suicide; of his licentious older son, Moses; and of Moses' adoring and errant younger brother, Coverly.
    Tragic and funny, ribald and splendidly picaresque, The Wapshot Chronicle is a family narrative in the tradition of Trollope, Dickens, and Henry James.
    As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of John Cheever's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview where James Atlas interviews Blake Bailey about the life and work of John Cheever begins as soon as the audiobook ends.
    Critic Reviews:
    "The best introduction to Cheever's work.... Richly inventive and vividly told." (The New York Times Book Review)
    "[John Cheever is] a master American storyteller." (Time)

    Publisher's Summary:
    Agatha was the picture of primness and propriety, although her green eyes could blaze with anger or sparkle with humor. Scott was the picture of lazy charm and happy indifference to what others thought was right and wrong. They were enemies, then friends. Then the sweet innocence of a child opened their eyes and their hearts. And in each other's arms they were reborn by the soft, wondrous gift of love.

    Title: The Firefly Dance
    Subtitle: Four Novellas About Growing Wise and Growing Up
    Author: Sarah Addison Allen, Kathryn Magendie, Phyllis Schieber
    Narrator: Frances Fuller
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 8 hrs and 8 mins
    Language: English

    Publisher: Belle Books, Inc.
    Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 30 votes
    Genres: Fiction, Literary
    Publisher's Summary:
    Bright lights flicker in the dark evenings of summer. Pinpoints of hope float against the black descent of night. The sweetest of small and innocent creatures finds its way through the shadows. Fireflies seem to dance on sheer air, illuminating the space between heartbeats.
    Children give off a similar brave glow, despite the challenges of their young lives. The lessons of childhood are often painful, the shedding of fragile wings in the gloam of an uncertain future. These rich novellas are small jewels reflecting the essence of what it means to grow up dancing among the shadows of life, carrying a brave, small beacon because you know that even the brightest days always, always, end in darkness.
    Childhood can be so sweetly sad and sadly sweet, profound and deceptively easy to categorize, yet poignant to remember.
    New York Times best-selling novelist Sarah Addison Allen (Garden Spells, Sugar Queen, The Peach Keeper) anchors The Firefly Dance with her wistful and funny novella about Louise, a North Carolina girl whose keen observations of the lives around her weaves an unforgettable spell with just a hint of everyday magic.
    Kathryn Magendie's Petey deals wryly with her family's move from the cool blue mountains of North Carolina to the hot flatlands of Texas.
    Augusta Trobaugh's stoic Georgia girl leads us through her surreal encounter with a mysterious backwoods toddler who turns out to be anything but ordinary.

  • The Bachelors Audiobook by Muriel Spark

    Title: The Bachelors
    Author: Muriel Spark
    Narrator: Nadia May
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 7 hrs and 1 min
    Language: English
    Release date: 11-11-08
    Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
    Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes
    Genres: Fiction, Literary
    Publisher's Summary:
    First found contentedly chatting in their London clubs and shopping at Fortnum's, the cozy bachelors are not set to stay cozy for long. Soon enough, the men are variously tormented - defrauded, stolen from, blackmailed, or pressed to attend horrid séances - and then plunged, all together, into the nastiest of lawsuits. At the center of that suit hovers pale, blank Patrick Seton, the medium.
    Meanwhile, horrors of every size plague the poor bachelors - from epileptic fits to forgeries, spiritualists foaming with protoplasm, and murder - and each horror delights, lit up by Spark's uncanny wit, at once malicious, funny, and deadly serious.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Completely, searingly original." (
    The Independent)"One of the most decisive and unmistakable voices in contemporary fiction....Spark concocts a present-tense deadpan that is at once lyrical, extravagant, and gruesomely funny." (
    The New Yorker)"Incomparable reader May's gentle British accent perfectly animates
    The Bachelors, a novel of sophisticated wit." (
    Booklist)

  • The Names Audiobook by Don DeLillo

    Title: The Names
    Author: Don DeLillo
    Narrator: Jacques Roy
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 05-16-17
    Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
    Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes
    Genres: Fiction, Literary
    Publisher's Summary:
    Set against the backdrop of a lush and exotic Greece, The Names is considered the book that began to drive "sharply upward the size of his readership" (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Among the cast of DeLillo's bizarre yet fully realized characters in The Names are Kathryn, the narrator's estranged wife; their son, the six-year-old novelist; Owen, the scientist; and the neurotic narrator obsessed with his own neuroses. A thriller, a mystery, and still a moving examination of family, loss, and the amorphous and magical potential of language itself, The Names stands with any of DeLillo's more recent and highly acclaimed works.
    Critic Reviews:
    "The Names not only accurately reflects a portion of our contemporary world but, more importantly, creates an original world of its own." (Chicago Sun-Times)
    "DeLillo sifts experience through simultaneous grids of science and poetry, analysis and clear sight, to make a high-wire prose that is voluptuously stark." (Village Voice Literary Supplement)
    "DeLillo verbally examines every state of consciousness from eroticism to tourism, from the idea of America as conceived by the rest of the world to the idea of the rest of the world as conceived by America, from mysticism to fanaticism." (New York Times)
