Download Oh, Title! AudioBook Free
A literary yawp; a compelling, sundry assortment of stories and essays - Oh, Title! is a distinctive offering. Sometimes a humorous memoir of the author-be-damned, at times a compilation of impressively eclectic fiction, this strange audiobook is almost always away from turning into another thing. You'll listen to it tensely, then you'll stop to laugh, then you'll pause while you look up a wonderful new word - but always you'll go to it with affection because clearly it was written with love. In hearing the collection it quickly becomes apparent, that Daniel Donatelli loves listeners - more than himself, even - and that each word of the audiobook, from the invigorating heights of its descriptive bliss to the comical blue sewers of its sometimes deep scatology, was located there with a straightforward hope: that those noble listeners might find a thoughtful enjoyment in the sum. The short stories (and to a big extent they may be truly short indeed) are a sweet, alchemical mix of philosophy and fiction; the essays are engaging attempts at honesty and insight; the pastel parades are thought-provoking, entertaining little palette cleansers between the beastly rounds; and the final pieces - the two disturbingly funny teleplays and the giant poem of existential and linguistic gymnastics - display a refreshing (or maybe bewildering) creativity. The sum is higher than the parts, and the parts are higher than the sum, and all logic goes right out the window.
