A Tightly Plotted And Thought-Provoking Novel — This Is A Gripping Listen

It’s always a treat when a literary writer we love tries their hand at a thriller, and Rebecca Makkai does it so well with I Have Some Questions for You. Bodie Kane is a podcaster whose passion for true crime dates back to the ’90s, when her boarding-school classmate was murdered. Decades later, Bodie’s drawn back into the salacious story when she returns to campus as a visiting instructor—and two of her students revisit the case. Makkai has never shied away from hot-button topics in her novels, and she uses the mystery-at-an-elite-school premise to explore issues of race, class, criminal justice, and our cultural fascination with pretty dead girls. Veteran narrator Julia Whelan’s clear, conversational delivery is perfect for this tightly plotted and thought-provoking novel, capturing Bod...

This Pulitzer Prize – Winning Biography Leaves No Atom Unturned As It Explores The Life Of J. Robert Oppenheimer

This Pulitzer Prize–winning biography leaves no atom unturned as it explores the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb.” Co-authors Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin trace Oppenheimer’s life from his New York upbringing in a German Jewish family amidst growing antisemitic attitudes to his key role in developing the first atomic bomb to his postwar turn towards pacifism—which those in power found very unsettling. The authors’ meticulous research draws on thousands of personal sources and government documents to unpack the dizzying highs of the scientist’s career right along with the soul-destroying lows that Oppenheimer experienced after creating a weapon of unprecedented destruction. Narrator Jeff Cummings delivers the audiobook with a calm yet commanding tone that’...

The Good, The Bad, And The Barbie : A Doll’s History And Her Impact On Us

In the prologue, Meg Cabot describes her desire for a Barbie and her mother's reluctance to purchase one, basically summing up the conflict surrounding the doll since its introduction in 1959. Listeners learn about Mattel Toys and the background behind Barbie's concept and development, how it was a solution for girls who wanted to imagine adult roles rather than just play mother, and details about inventor Ruth Handler. But more than that, Stone reveals the pathos behind so many relationships of girls with Barbie: those who cherished her and those who were negatively influenced. Was she a destructive role model or just a toy? Experts disagree. In this balanced overview, both sides of the quandary are addressed. Barbie's different roles, graduating from nurse to surgeon, stewardess to pi...
