À propos de cet audio

Louis Begley’s perceptive novel hums with emotional energy and shimmers with haunting images. A National Book Critics' Circle Award finalist, About Schmidt is a powerful meditation on loneliness, desire, and transformation.

Old-school lawyer Albert Schmidt has spent years carefully climbing the ladder of success. But now, at what should be the pinnacle of his career, his life is in chaos. Within months, he is widowed and forcibly retired from his firm. He harbors painfully mixed feelings about his ambitious daughter’s impending marriage. Suddenly, in the midst of this turmoil, a seductive young woman asks Smitty what he wants.

Far from being a time of satisfaction and complacency, the middle age encountered by Begley’s hero is the beginning of a new journey—tantalizing, yet unnerving. From the first step, Begley draws the listener deeply into a man’s quest for new ways to understand an unstable world.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Begley guides the narrative with aplomb and dry humor … His discerning intellect and lapidary prose distinguish this powerful story.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Really did not enjoy this one.while the writing was fine, listening to an old man whine about being lonly and pissed off about paying taxes really doesn’t do a lot for me. Sure, maybe I missed something, maybe I’m just not a sophisticated enough reader, but it seems to me there are so many more important things in the world that can be taking up space in this app. ☹️
