Publisher's Summary
Absurdly logical, mercilessly real, gathering its own tumultuous momentum for the ultimate brush with commodity training, JR captures the listener in the cacophony of voices that revolves around this young captive of his own myths. The disturbing clarity with which this finished writer captures the ways in which we deal, dissemble, and stumble through our words - through our lives - while the real plans are being made elsewhere makes JR the extraordinary novel that it is.

Nick Sullivan
The narration here is heroic. This audiobook would be so much worse without Nick Sullivan.

Gaddis writes another masterpiece....
and it's even better when heard. JR is a dense and almost impenetrable text that has been unwrapped by Nick Sullivan. Instead of losing oneself in trying to figure out who is speaking to whom on paper, the audible version of JR shifts from different vocal ranges, making sure you can following the flow of the conversation while also identifying the characters. As a result, JR shines out as the great work of American postmodern realism it really is--each banal conversation sucks you into a world that is just as real as our own, yet which is different in radical and opening ways. Gaddis is one of the great kings of literature, and as he grows more and more relevant in our present epoch, he will only get more subjects.
