Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

De: Dave Eggers

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews, Mark Deakins, Michelle Gonzalez, John H. Mayer, Kate McGregor-Stewart, Rebecca Lowman, Bruce Turk, Marc Cashman

From Dave Eggers, best-selling author of The Circle, a tightly controlled, emotionally searching novel. Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? is the formally daring, brilliantly executed story of one man struggling to make sense of his country, seeking answers the only way he knows how.

In a barracks on an abandoned military base, miles from the nearest road, Thomas watches as the man he has brought wakes up. Kev, a NASA astronaut, doesn't recognize his captor, though Thomas remembers him. Kev cries for help. He pulls at his chain. But the ocean is close by, and nobody can hear him over the waves and wind. Thomas apologizes. He didn't want to have to resort to this. But they really needed to have a conversation, and Kev didn't answer his messages. And now, if Kev can just stop yelling, Thomas has a few questions.

Read by MacLeod Andrews with Mark Deakins, Michelle Gonzalez, John H. Mayer, Kate McGregor-Stewart, Rebecca Lowman, Bruce Turk, and Marc Cashman.

Very enjoyable!

Narrators were amazing, it wouldn't have been half as good if I had read it and not listened to it.

wow what a book

for me it was the modern version of the stranger by Albert Camus. loved every minute of it. dense and moving.

This Author is

Amazing I have read several different books of his and not one of them not even one would make you think it came from the same author! this man is a genius the first book I listen to of his wasn't narrated by Dion

Dangerous ideas

This is a very wacky story, all narrative and linear in real time as a complicated heartbreaking tragedy unfolds in 5 rooms all connected in the disturbed mind of Thomas, a man sick of his uninspiring life in a disappointing world but cursed with extraordinary vision into the tragedy of modern civilization.

The way to experience the book

Awesome story, Macleod Arthur is fantastic, really providing life to Thomas as the narrator. A very interesting idea and I loved the way it was done. Eggers is the man!
