Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who has been through their own share of rough childhoods, I found 'Townie' to be a powerful and relatable listen. Andre Dubus III's narration is both measured and passionate, drawing the listener in with his raw honesty and vulnerability. The pacing is well-done, with moments of tension and turmoil giving way to moments of introspection and growth. One critique I would offer is that some of the story's more violent and disturbing moments might be too intense for some listeners, but for those who can stomach it, the payoff is a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. Overall, 'Townie' is a must-listen for anyone interested in memoirs or the human condition.
