About This Audiobook

Shooting Up is not your typical memoir. Jonathan Tepper's childhood in 1980s Madrid was as gritty as it was extraordinary. Narrated in a conversational, almost confessional style, Tepper's performance is as raw and unfiltered as the stories he tells. He doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of heroin addiction and crime that surrounded him, painting a vivid, often unsettling picture of his San Blas neighborhood. Yet, it's the love and faith that permeates his family's home that makes this audiobook truly distinctive. It's a tale of contrasts, expertly told.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to Shooting Up feels like sitting down with an old friend who's got a hell of a story to tell. Jonathan Tepper's narration is engaging and intimate, drawing you in from the start. He captures the innocence of his childhood, the shock of his surroundings, and the unwavering faith that guided him and his family. The pacing is excellent, building tension and releasing it just when you need a breath. If there's a criticism, it's that Tepper sometimes gets lost in the details, but it's a small price to pay for the rich tapestry he weaves. Production is minimal, letting Tepper's voice take center stage, which is exactly where it should be.
