Mordecai Richler
Barney Panofsky - Canadian expat, wily lover of women, writer, television producer, raconteur - is finally putting pen to paper so he can rebut the charges about him made in his rival’s autobiography. Whether it’s ranting about his bohemian misadventures during the 1950s in Paris, his tumultuous three marriages, or his successful trashy TV company, Totally Unnecessary Productions, he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn’t. But when he’s charged with the murder of his own best friend - caught in bed with the second Mrs. Panofsky - Barney’s version of things might not be enough to keep him out of trouble.

I don't know much about the production of audiobooks, but there is usually a producer listed, and I imagine it's the producer's job to proofread, or proof-listen, or whatever you call it. In a book with a heavy sprinkling of foreign-language words, it's essential to find out how these words are pronounced, and to let your actor/narrator know when he's made an error. If you want help with this, in all of the languages covered by the book, call me. (I'm not looking for work, really, but would like my Audiobooks not to be ruined by sloppy production). Otherwise, please find a way to correct these errors. Audible usually gets this right, but not here.
I look forward to listening to more books read by Mr. Abbey, who has beautiful English diction. But he needs help here!
Who proofreads these productions?

A Jew who grew up in Canada and went to Paris in the 1950s to immerse himself in the Left Bank arts scene, Barney has his memories.
Now he is sharing with us in a first person voice (think Philip Roth doing an extended late night stand up routine) that maintains a sameness and soon courts boredom. Witty he is not. Deft, no. Interesting? Only in a desultory sort of way.
Sameness and boredom

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A narrator who actually has heard anyone from Montreal talk and pronounce French names.Being a Montrealler myself, I winced each time he would try say any Quebec place name or person's name.It was very distracting.
Would you be willing to try another book from Mordecai Richler? Why or why not?
Yes, by a different narrator.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Graham Abbey?
Someone who knows Montreal and knows how it's Jewish community speaks.Any additional comments?
I'm going to get the paper book version and read it.Narration ruins it.
