Shaun Taylor-Corbett performs Brendan Shay Basham’s immersive audiobook in a restrained style. Magical realism colors this fine debut novel. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how Taylor-Corbett shifts his tone to reflect the various characters and authentically delivers the Diné language in the text. He inhabits the soul of Damien, who has just lost his younger brother, and seeks refuge from his wounds by traveling to a mysterious seacoast town. The author takes listeners on a journey that is part origin story, part evocation of climate disasters, and entirely worth listening to.
