Death of the Author

Anthony Oseyemi's narration sets an eerie tone from the outset, perfectly complementing Nnedi Okorafor’s intricate storytelling. The blend of African folklore with advanced technology feels both familiar and fresh—a rare feat in speculative fiction. However, some scenes feel slightly overexplained by the narrator, distracting from the flow. Despite this minor quibble, the audiobook's pacing is excellent, keeping listeners engaged throughout its 16 hours and 12 minutes. The ensemble cast’s performances are stellar, particularly Jason Culp as the enigmatic protagonist. Overall, 'Death of the Author' offers a unique listening experience that rewards attention and curiosity.
