Read by Daniel K. Isaac, Dominic Hoffman and Shannon Tyo. If anything, we need all the narrative signposts we can get in this vertiginous maze that winds through alternate histories, dreamlike impossibilities and books within books. Park’s novel braids together three separate narratives that overlap in sometimes rewarding, sometimes confounding ways. Characters, too, repeat throughout, tempting the listener to draw connections that prove so tenuous they vanish as quickly as they came. That’s OK; the point isn’t to grasp every minute detail, pinning it to your mental bulletin board with thumbtacks and a network of strings.

Deciding what audiobook to listen to requires its own special calculus, related to but distinct from the factors we consider when picking a book off a shelf. From the Book Review’s own endless listening, we will select and review a different title each week, from a range of genres, to help you decide. HOW TO WRITE ABOUT AFRICA: Collected Works, by Binyavanga Wainaina. Reading Binyavanga Wainaina makes you sit up straight. Dismantling the Western world’s constructed myths and clichés about Africa, his art firmly orients you toward the reality of life across the most genetically diverse place on earth.
