Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Warren du Plooy delivers a performance that is both subtle and effective, allowing Dalrymple's words to shine without overshadowing them. The story 'The Unreliable Narrator' exemplifies this approach; its absurd premise unfolds with perfect pacing, keeping you hooked until the poignant twist. However, some of the lighter stories feel slightly rushed, which might detract from their intended impact. Despite these minor shortcomings, the overall experience is a delightful mix of humor and reflection that makes 'Grief and Other Stories' an audiobook not to be missed.
