Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Peter McGough’s narration is nothing short of brilliant in ‘I’ve Seen the Future and I’m Not Going.’ His ability to shift between joyous exuberance and poignant sorrow perfectly complements the story's emotional depth. The raw, unfiltered account of their life together is both captivating and jarring; his voice brings these moments to vivid life. However, some sections can feel overly self-indulgent, which might distract from the overall narrative flow. Despite this, it remains an engaging listen for anyone interested in the chaotic beauty of artistic partnerships and the highs and lows of unconventional relationships.
