The Crumbling of a Nation and Other Stories

De: Ryan David Ginsberg

Narrado por: Ryan David Ginsberg

Ryan David Ginsberg bursts onto the literary scene with this hauntingly beautiful collection of stories that cannot be listened to just once and then forgotten. They are stories to be listened to again and again, stories that will stay with the listener long after the book has been put down.

Within these stories, you will meet a woman who must auction her unborn baby’s rights away; a twelve-year-old boy who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war; an extraterrestrial being sent to Earth to determine whether or not humans are worthy of an invitation to the Confederation of the Cosmos; a mother who sends her child to school in a bulletproof vest; an old man who has only two months to live; a genius who strives to eradicate sadness from the world; a young girl impregnated by force in a state where abortion is outlawed; a grandmother teaching her granddaughter about the origins of the universe; a teacher who fights against the censors of her local school; a PhD candidate whose worst nightmare is recorded by dozens and posted online for millions; an artist seeking fame in a world where all are famous; and a sneak peek at the author’s (hopeful) debut novel, In The Algorithm We Trust.

Really made you think

Loved his voice. All very dystopian views but thought provoking. The book about the children and guns in as so current

Very through provoking stories

These stories are so right on with what is going on in this country. Very thought provoking.

Great book

Phenomenal stories that are incredibly timely. This is a book I will be recommending to everyone

fantastic book!

This is a great collection of short stories. It walks that line of fiction and non-fiction that we are living in right now.

A good start but next time spring for a narrator.

The stories are enjoyable and thought provoking but the narrators young voice and limited voice acting takes you out of the story.

I wanted to like this book

The stories are intriguing. It was a good thought. But the stories are poorly written with a lot of run on sentences and lists. It's very repetitive. He says "and" a lot. It was tough to listen to and I really gave the book a try but in the end I just got annoyed.

I really wanted to like this…

I was hooked after hearing another day in America on TikTok, but the grammar and overuse of words really pulls me out of the story and makes it hard to listen to.
