David Duchovny
From beloved actor and cultural icon David Duchovny comes a surreal and hilarious new audiobook.
Ted Fullilove, aka Mr. Peanut, is not like other Ivy League grads. He shares an apartment with Goldberg, his beloved battery-operated fish, sleeps on a bed littered with yellow legal pads penned with what he hopes will be the next great American novel, and spends the waning malaise-filled days of the Carter administration at Yankee Stadium, waxing poetic while slinging peanuts to pay the rent.
When Ted hears the news that his estranged father, Marty, is dying of lung cancer, he immediately moves back into his childhood home, where a whirlwind of revelations ensues. The browbeating absentee father of his youth is living to make up for lost time, but his health dips drastically whenever his beloved Red Sox lose. And so, with help from a crew of neighborhood old-timers and the lovely Mariana - Marty's Nuyorican grief counselor - Ted orchestrates the illusion of a Sox winning streak, enabling Marty and the Red Sox to reverse the Curse of the Bambino and cruise their way to World Series victory. Well, sort of.
David Duchovny's richly drawn Bucky F*cking Dent is a story of the bond between fathers and sons, Yankee fans and the Fenway faithful, and grapples with the urgent need to find our story in an age of irony and artifice. Culminating in that fateful moment in October of '78 when the meek Bucky Dent hit his way into baseball history with the unlikeliest of home runs, this tragicomic audiobook demonstrates that life truly belongs to the losers - that the long shots are the ones worth betting on.
Bucky F*cking Dent is a singular tale that brims with the hilarity, poignancy, and profound solitude of modern life.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Listeners will have no trouble discerning among curmudgeonly Marty, cynical Ted, and good-natured grief counselor Mariana. Nor will they lose interest in the character-driven tale while anticipating each witticism and relishing Duchovny's droll delivery. A highly recommended and essential addition to audio collections." - Booklist

Editor's Pick
Really f*cking good
"This is one of the small handful of audiobooks I’ve re-listened to. If you have any hesitation about picking up a title by an actor turned fiction writer, I promise you this story will change your mind. Also, what a title, right?"
—Aaron S., Audible Editor

What didn’t you like about David Duchovny’s performance?
This is one example of why I don't usually like author narrations. At times it sounded as if the author was bored to tears, at others he couldn't race through the story fast enough. The beginning in particular was in such a monotone that it was difficult to get into the story. But once I got into it, I enjoyed the story. Just wish authors would give credit to the professional narrators who bring so much to an audio book.Enjoyed the story not the Author's narration.

I was pleasantly surprised with this novel; I didn't know what to expect after the cute, light-hearted, quasi-fluff of Duchovny's first novel. But from someone who had a rough relationship with her father that turned around after a cancer diagnosis (and not very long later, death), Ted and Marty's journey falls in that fragile space between cheesy and flippant--the space a lot of readers will find familiar and recognize as somewhere they might have been. The story just feels real.
I'm a sucker for happy endings, and Duchovny didn't have to go with one here, but he did, and I think Ted deserved it.
Something real

I love David Duchovny’s work. But his reading... He read it like he was trying to plow through it as fast as possible. During short dialogues, it was impossible to keep track of who was saying what, since he read so fast and didn’t differentiate the voices recognizably. Sometimes his voice had some emotion, but most of the time it felt very monotonous.
Entertaining plot, read like it was a race to the finish.
