Title: Flyover Lives

Subtitle: A Memoir

Author: Diane Johnson

Narrator: Suzanne Toren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-16-14

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians

Publisher's Summary:

Growing up in the small river town of Moline, Illinois, Diane Johnson always dreamed of floating down the Mississippi River and venturing off to see the world. Years later, at home in France, a French friend teases her about her Americanness: Indifference to history. Thats why Americans seem so naïve.

The jaccuse stays with Johnson. Are Americans indifferent to history? Her own family seemed always to have been in the Midwest. Surely they had gotten there from somewhere? In digging around, she discovers letters and memoirs written by generations of her stalwart pioneer ancestors that testify to more complex and fascinating times than the derisive nickname the Flyover gives the region credit for. This is the story of the people who struggled to reach places like Ohio, Iowa, and Illinois two hundred years ago and saw no reason to leave.

Johnson weaves passages from these cherished records into her own pages, illuminating the westward journeys shared by so many American families and the bedrock character that enabled them to survive a brutal pioneer period to become the sheltered guardians of Americana in both its best and worst incarnations.

With the acuity and sympathy that her bestselling novels are known for, Johnson captures the magnetic pull of home against our lust for escape and self-invention. Here is the small-town charm of a midwestern childhood as well as the series of adventures that led to her unlikely situation in France, so far from Moline yet, as her history reveals, the birthplace of her first ancestor to brave the New World. A dazzling meditation on the mysteries of the wispy but material family ghosts who shape us, this spellbinding memoir is also a keenly insightful exploration of how we shape ourselves.

Critic Reviews:

"Suzanne Toren performs this memoir with sensitivity to its shifts from historical context to vibrant characterizations. She has a flair for verbally depicting the mundane of the Midwest juxtaposed against the French aristocracy and upper-crust society. Toren delivers the charming narrative with humor, grace, and lively vocalizations." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Somehow lacking...

Any additional comments?

Although I enjoyed Johnson's memoir, I was a little disappointed. The first chapter sets up the question of Americans' attitudes towards history and and their family line, but after tracing her own, Johnson never draws any conclusions. I just did not see the connection the New Yorker did between her "cheerful pragmatism and unsparing work ethic" and her pioneer ancestors. So for me the book was a collection of personal recollections and interesting reconstructions of her ancestors lives, but not a cohesive work that connects them all. It did not surprise me to hear at the end that some parts of the book had been previously published as separate pieces.

bad performance from narrator

Where does Flyover Lives rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Narrator puts on an annoyingly affected snobbish accent, totally unnecessary in this book and it kind of ruined the pleasure of an otherwise good book.

Title: Mathew Brady

Subtitle: Portraits of a Nation

Author: Robert Wilson

Narrator: Kevin Stillwell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-01-13

Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians

Publisher's Summary:

In the 1840s and 1850s, "Brady of Broadway" was one of the most successful and acclaimed Manhattan portrait galleries. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Dolley Madison, Henry James as a boy with his father, Horace Greeley, Edgar Allan Poe, the Prince of Wales, and Jenny Lind were among the dignitaries photographed in Mathew Brady's studio. But it was during the Civil War that he became the founding father of what is now called photojournalism and his photography became an enduring part of American history.

The Civil War was the first war in history to leave a detailed photographic record, and Mathew Brady was the war's chief visual historian. Previously, the general public had never seen in such detail the bloody particulars of war - the strewn bodies of the dead, the bloated carcasses of horses, the splintered remains of trees and fortifications, or the chaos and suffering on the battlefield. Brady knew better than anyone of his era the dual power of the camera to record and to excite, to stop a moment in time and to draw the viewer vividly into that moment.

He was not, in the strictest sense, a Civil War photographer. As the director of a photographic service, he assigned Alexander Gardner, James F. Gibson, and others to take photographs, often under his personal supervision; he also distributed Civil War photographs taken by others not employed by him. Ironically, Brady had accompanied the Union army to the first major battle at Bull Run, but was so shaken by the experience that throughout the rest of the war he rarely visited battlefields, except well before or after a major battle.

MATHEW BRADY is the biography of an American legend - a businessman, an accomplished and innovative technician, a suave promoter, a celebrated portrait artist, and, perhaps most important, a historian who chronicled America during its finest and gravest moments of the 19th century.

Members Reviews:

Finally, a great biography of Brady

Everyone who knows anything about American history, knows the Brady photographs, but few of us know much about the man himself. Robert Wilson has remedied that, giving us the first really complete biography of the man, and of his role not just in American history but in the history of photography and of photojournalism. This is the kind of book that adds immeasurably to the understanding of the beginning of the great leap into modern communications, by a superb writer who knows how to tell the story.

Great Read!

What a wonderful way to learn some civil war history. This book is full of new and interesting information about Brady, the war and photography. Wilson is a masterful writer and storyteller.

A look at early photography and its role in Civil War reporting

This book offers an intriguing look at a crucial period in American history, as viewed from the cameras of Brady and his colleagues. I think history and camera buffs will find much to interest them here.

Matthew Brady, Photographer

Wow! What a photographer! He chronicled the history of this country during the Civil War in photographs. The photos of the horror of that war told the story of brother killing brother. He was an amazing photographer. I wonder what he would have done with the cameras of today. This was a most enjoyable book.

Great history of all photography

Book did not just focus on Brady alone, but entire history of photography.

Title: Midstream

Subtitle: An Unfinished Memoir

Author: Reynolds Price

Narrator: Mike Lewis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-29-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians

Publisher's Summary:

The final audiobook from Reynolds Price, "one of the most important voices in modern Southern fiction." - The New York Times - with a foreword by Anne Tyler and an afterword by William Price.

When Reynolds Price died in January 2011, he left behind one final piece of writing - two hundred candid, heartrending, and marvelously written manuscript pages about a critical period in his young adulthood. Picking up where his previous memoir, Ardent Spirits, left off, the work documents a brief time from 1961 to 1965, perhaps the most leisurely of Price's life, but also one of enormous challenge and growth. Price gave it the title Midstream. Approaching thirty, Price writes, is to face the notion that, "This is it. I'm now the person I'm likely to befrom here to the end."

Midstream, which begins when Price is twenty-eight, details the final youthful adventures of a man on the cusp of artistic acclaim. Here, Price chases a love to England, only to meet heartbreak. Determined to pursue other pleasures, he travels to Sweden for a friend's wedding, then journeys to Rome with British poet Stephen Spender and spends an afternoon with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Price returns to the United States, where he finds company with a group of artists as he awaits the 1962 publication of his first novel, A Long and Happy Life.

"Few writers have made as dramatic an entrance on the American literary stage," declared The New York Times on the book's success. Price would settle into a tranquil life in North Carolina, buy a house, and resume teaching. Concluding with his mother's death and Price's new endeavors - a second novel and foray into Hollywood screenwriting - Midstream offers a poignant portrait of a man at the threshold of true adulthood, navigating new responsibilities and pleasures alike. It is a fitting bookend for Price's remarkable career, and it reinforces his place in the pantheon of American literature.

For those who thoroughly enjoy reading, this is a superior small volume

Reading is a skill and an art, a fact everyone knows. This memoir is a major work among authors regarding the man who brought imagination to life in words, and those events and people who formed his personal experience. As with similar works related to Sherwood Anderson, Edgar Lee Masters, Betty Smith, Jon Hassler, Roland Merullo, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty (et cetera), this work gives insight to both the fiction, poetry, and other literary publications of Reynolds Price as artist. While there is no need to append his novels, for example, this volume of recollections does, in fact, lend depth to the works, at least in my reading experience.

The delightful stream-of-consciousness tone takes the reader from Reynolds Price's earliest publication experiences in his late twenties to unfolding and growthful events as personal life unfolds. More than charting events, he reflects, makes connections, and moves toward a more contemplative way of sharing art and insight. The tome can be read very quickly; but in doing so, one might miss the insights he has about being human in community.

For those who thoroughly enjoy reading, this is a superior small volume.
