À propos de cet audio

Brady Udall is the acclaimed author of the internationally best-selling The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint. In The Lonely Polygamist, Udall pens a tragicomic tale starring Golden Richards - who, despite having four wives and 28 children, hasn’t quite found fulfillment in life.

Like other men in the midst of a mid-life crisis, Golden feels as though he’s drowning. His wives squabble amongst themselves, and he hardly has time for all his children - least of all the 11-year-old who’s taken a keen interest in explosives. And now his construction business is struggling. Yet even after Golden falls in love again and takes a mistress to alleviate his pain, life continues to fall short of expectations.

Udall’s skillfully observed tale is “as comic as it is sublimely catastrophic.” (Publishers Weekly).

Ce que les critiques en disent

“One of the best novels I’ve read in a while . . . Golden Richards, middle-aged, 6-foot-6 polygamist with an overbite, is one of the most appealing, original, and brilliantly tragicomic protagonists to appear in American fiction in some time.” ( Newsday)
“A wry, sympathetic portrait of a spectacularly dysfunctional family.” ( The New Yorker)
“A thick, transporting, critically hailed novel from which you emerge, blinking but sated, into the real world.” ( Miami Herald)

I first read this book ten years ago, and I was pleased to see it was “included” with Audible, so I downloaded it and enjoyed it even more than the first time. Kudos to the wonderful performer of this very special book.

Great story, great reader
