À propos de cet audio

Joshua Then and Now is about Joshua Shapiro today and the Joshua he was. His father is a boxer turned honest crook, his mother an erotic dancer whose greatest performance was at Joshua's bar mitzvah; Joshua has overcome his inauspicious beginnings in the Jewish ghetto of Montreal to become a celebrated television writer and a successful journalist. But Joshua, now middle-aged, is not a happy man. Incapacitated by a freak accident, anguished by the disappearance of his WASP wife, and caught up in a sex scandal, Joshua is besieged by the press and tormented by the ghosts of his youth. Set in Montreal, the novel chronicles the rocky journey we all make between the countries of the past and the present. Raucous, opinionated, tender, Joshua Then and Now is a memorable excursion into Mordecai Richler's comic universe.

This was an excellent novel but frustrating to listen to due to the narrator's many stupid pronunciation errors up to and including the author's name. He also failed to comprehend the sense of many sentences, putting the stress in the wrong place and confusing the meaning. He chose to give some (but only some) foreign characters accents, and each was embarrassing. Not the quality I expect from an Audible production and Mr. Richler certainly deserved better.
