The Night Listener - (Unabridged *plus bonus)
Shared by:noxx27
The lines between reality and illusion are intriguingly blurred in this novel.
The deceptively simple story line concerns Gabriel Noone, a San Francisco radio personality whose “grabby little armchair yarns” have developed a cult following; indeed, the books based on these weekly NPR broadcasts “have never stopped selling.” But Gabriel is experiencing severe writer’s block as he endures an emotional crisis triggered by the decision of Jess, his longtime male companion, to separate: “I lost a vital engine I never even knew I had.” When a manuscript sent to Gabriel for an endorsement turns out to be a harrowing memoir of sexual abuse written by a 13-year-old, he is moved to contact the precocious youngster. It seems that Gabriel has been an on-the-air lifeline for Peter Lomax, who has been adopted by a female doctor with some pressing problems of her own. This vulnerable threesome embark on a pas de trois that envelops the reader in an increasingly absorbing puzzle. Providing a moving counterpoint to Gabriel’s growing attachment toAeven dependence onAPete is his inability to cope with his estrangement from Jess. As in his earlier works, reading Maupin’s prose is like meeting up with a beloved old friend; it’s an easy, uncomplicated encounter filled with warmth, wisdom and familiar touches of humor. But there’s pathos here as well, and sharp-edged drama with a few hairpin turns. As Gabriel cautions, “I’m a fabulist by trade, so be forewarned: I’ve spent years looting my life for fiction.” And what splendid booty.
This unprecedented audio project is as thought-provoking as it is mesmeric. The Night Listener is a meditation on the power of voices and the faith we place in them, and an extraordinary audio experience from an American literary icon.
Armistead Maupin’s novel is based on a true story about a remarkable young man named Tony Johnson. But just how true is Tony’s story?
