In 1950s Houston, an affluent couple is transformed by tragedy when their son dies under mysterious circumstances and the husband loses his job of 40 years. Shirley Knight recreates her Tony-nominated performance in this 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.(P)2000 L.A. Theatre Works Drama y Obras Estados Unidos Literatura Mundial

Reseñas editoriales

This recording of Horton Foote's Pulitzer Prize-winning work is an audiobook that will remind senior listeners of pre-television days when radio drama kept them glued to the Motorola. The principals in this drama about shattered lives are a long married husband and wife - first devastated by the death of their son (was it suicide? was he gay?), then by the loss of the husband's job. David Selby and Shirley Knight recreate their acclaimed stage roles with outstanding audio performances. Equally good are the minor characters who round out this compelling listening experience.

Would you listen to The Young Man from Atlanta again? Why?

No. I feel like I got the jest of the story the first time.

What did you like best about this story?

The way the actors beautifully portrayed the tension of dancing around taboo topics.

What about Shirley Knight and David Selby ’s performance did you like?

You could not help but have a great deal of compassion for these older people making the attempt to navigate a changing world.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The last scene when Lily Dale finally accepts what happened to their son.

While I enjoyed the audio format of this book (it reads as a play) I found the content fairly predictable. Note (as I failed to) that this is a very short book... I meant to get something to listen to on a cross country flight but this book didn't make it half way. My fault.

Short, Sweet and Predictable

Sensitively written. Reminded me of Arthur Miller’s writing. The acting was superb and David Selby who played Will couldn’t have been finer.

Beautiful in all ways.

I liked the author's ability to create characters that seemed real and caring but lacked the ability, until the end, the allow themselves to see past their own needs; they never were able to allow their son , nor each other, to share their true social and emotional selves, perhaps from fear of rejection and disproval.
This flaw creates such sadness and loneliness for some, that it becomes too much to deal with.
