Download All Stories Are Fiction: Yes, There Will Be Dancing AudioBook Free
Mike Daisey is a fierce storyteller, one minute hilarious, the next minute sweet, with a fine-tuned ear for digression. He circles in on his uneasy subject matter, closer and closer, until he exposes the raw heart. The New York Times calls him "the master storyteller" and he has been in comparison to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris. In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that range from the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the Middle East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech. In Yes, There Will Be Dancing, we're discussing dancing girls and the girls that just won't dance, and why is one profoundly not the same as the other. Freedom is also up for grabs; freedom of speech, freedom of action, and the warm water Mike gets into when he finds out what you can and can't say at a micro-Ivy college. Finally, Pentecostal snake charming and the mysterious world of the tent revival come head-to-head with a Baptist girlfriend who won't dance but will read Cosmo.
