Men Without Women

There is a precision and care in Kirby Heyborne's narration of this audiobook that is well suited to the collection. As the title suggests, each of these seven stories paints a portrait of a man who finds himself, one way or another, alone. Heyborne skillfully manages to make each story part of the cohesive themed group, and a unique snapshot of humanity. The spare, clean quality of his performance makes this collection inherently listenable for all types of audiences. His voice spans the divide between coolly aloof and warmly compassionate. The stories are deep enough to appeal to lovers of novels, but the recording will appeal to those looking for a light listen, too. L.B.F. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
