Running Dog

Candace Thaxton’s narration in 'Running Dog' is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to capture the complexity of Moll Robbins — from her journalistic tenacity to her vulnerability in the face of deceit — is both compelling and nuanced. The pacing, though sometimes slow by modern standards, mirrors DeLillo's deliberate prose, creating a tension that builds steadily throughout. However, some might find the political and erotic undercurrents a bit heavy-handed at times. Thaxton's performance, however, elevates this literary gem, ensuring listeners are fully immersed in DeLillo’s rich, layered narrative.
