Disturbed by Her Song

De: Tanith Lee, Esther Garber, Judas Garbah

Narrado por: Jullian Kline

Disturbed By Her Song collects the work of Esther Garber and her half-brother Judas Garbah, the mysterious family of writers that Tanith Lee has been channeling for the past few years. Possibly autobiographical, frequently erotic and darkly surreal, their fiction takes place in a variety of eras and places, from Egypt in the 1940s, to England in the grip of the Pre-Raphaelites, to gaslit Paris and to the shadowy landscapes carved by the mind and memory. The themes of youth and age stream through these tales of homosexual love and desire. These stories recall, at times, the work of Lawrence Durrell, Colette, and Angela Carter.

not a great narrator choice

The writing is very skilled, but the narrator was not up to the task. A lot of mispronounced words; a lot of odd choices in cadence; overall mismatched for the characters portrayed. Most perplexingly, she faked an English accent through the entire performance and it's very, very obvious. There are places which were poorly edited as well. I enjoyed the fiction itself, but the narration really put a damper on the experience.
