Resumen del Editor

This Is Water: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!

Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is presented for the first time in audiobook form in This Is Water. How does one keep from going through their comfortable, prosperous adult life unconsciously? How do we get ourselves out of the foreground of our thoughts and achieve compassion? The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others. After his death, it became a treasured piece of writing reprinted in The Wall Street Journal and the London Times, commented on endlessly in blogs, and emailed from friend to friend.

With his one-of-a-kind blend of causal humor, exacting intellect, and practical philosophy, David Foster Wallace probes the challenges of daily living and offers advice that renews us with every listening.

Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

So many wise words

It is the most wisdom, packed into a smaller (time) space than I have ever experienced.

I highly recommend that every English speaking person listen to this amazing commencement address.

Where Were Dave's Friends?

I was an acquaintance of Dave's, but it went as far as emailing. I can say though that if I had heard this in 2005, I would have been with him as he walked away from that podium. This young man's commencement speech was a voice in the wilderness, but surely a friend of his would have answered his call for help. I imagine there is a boatload of his friends walking around saying I knew he was depressed, but not to that extent. Academia failed him from the moment of his birth.

Worth it!

Considering I listened 3 times in a row, this was worth the money to me.
