There Seemed a River

De: Brian David Cinadr

Narrado por: Charles Kahlenberg

James Tully's father is dead, like "Jesus dead and door nailed". His fiancée has moved out, and his world is as rootless as a fallen tree. He will travel home along the river that bound him and that bound his father to the constant rain and the residue of his past, to the last days of his father’s life long suicide, what seemed to kill them both.

James is a product of his past, of his parents’ push and pull. Every word he utters is an archaeological dig into where and who he’s been. James is a San Francisco artist, but he is also a blue collar welder for the California transportation department and, more importantly, his father’s son.

There seemed a river is a reflection of James and his loss and of everything that still remains a part of him, as he was part of them. Everything lives on; it only changes.

Wow.

Writing like this is rare these days. I highly recommend this audible narrative. It's a journey to be be experienced, not merely read.
