Description
This program is read by Earphones Award-winning narrator Edoardo Ballerini.
"Edoardo Ballerini reads my books exceptionally well. He gets my pacing, the inflections of muted irony, the anxiety of loss, the search for meaning that my prose on paper isn’t always able to convey—he gets it all. He gets me. A writer couldn't be luckier."—Andre Aciman
A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011.
Celebrated as one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, André Aciman has written a luminous series of linked essays about time, place, identity, and art that show him at his very finest. From beautiful and moving pieces about the memory evoked by the scent of lavender; to meditations on cities like Barcelona, Rome, Paris, and New York; to his sheer ability to unearth life secrets from an ordinary street corner, Alibis reminds the listener that Aciman is a master of the personal essay.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Aciman ... has an ability to make the finest, the tiniest and most convincing distinctions between moods, responses, and registers. Everything is watched as it shifts and glitters and then hesitates and maybe is shadowed over ... This really is fiction at its most supremely interesting; every clause and subclause shimmers with a densely observed and carefully rendered invention that seems oddly and delightfully precise and convincing.”—Colm Tóibín, The New York Review of Books on Call Me by Your Name
“From the acclaimed Egyptian-born author, gorgeous musings on longing and memory fueled by travel... These essays sing with bracing clarity.”—Kirkus Reviews on Alibis
Alibis is a much more personal and revealing book than Aciman's memoir or his first essay collection. Now that the author has dissected his writing methodology and thought process so meticulously, the next book and new direction he'll go toward seems more of a mystery still . . . That's part of the excitement of reading Aciman, whose work is never a mere jest or entertaining distraction but genuine self-inquiry.”—Jake Marmer, Tablet on Alibis
