Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jesse Bernstein and John Rubinstein's performances are nothing short of brilliant in 'Lives of the Poets.' The dynamic duo seamlessly shifts between voices, bringing a depth and emotion that elevates Doctorow’s prose. Each story feels like a journey into the heart of America, with 'The Writer in the Family' standing out for its poignant exploration of literary truth and deception. However, some slower-paced segments might leave listeners yearning for more immediate gratification. Despite this minor quibble, this audiobook is a must-listen for any Doctorow fan or anyone seeking profound, thought-provoking narratives.
