The City of Our Dreaming

Angelique Lazarus’ narration in 'The City of Our Dreaming' is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to modulate her voice between reflective and incisive tones perfectly complements Khalili’s complex narrative. The story unfolds like a well-structured puzzle, gradually revealing the intricate connections between urban planning, culture, and identity in Los Angeles. While some sections delve deeply into historical details that may feel slow for casual listeners, the payoff is profound as it paints a vivid picture of how our cities influence—and are influenced by—our dreams. One minor critique: at times, the rapid pace of information can make it challenging to fully absorb all layers of content. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in urban studies or cultural history.
