When I was producing audiobooks in the early 00s, when audio went digital and fever was in the air, every so often I got to produce the entire catalog of a beloved and prolific author.
He had me at “I couldn’t stop throwing up.” I couldn’t stop listening. You’re so right about the Carver list. It’s a wrong that must be righted. I suggest we use Evenson’s memory of how Carver read them as a guide - “flatly, nonchalantly, almost crudely…”
Note: *Gift* subscriptions for some bright young teenage goddottir who would benefit from exposure to a wider world are also an option here!

You aren’t kidding that he has a beautiful voice? And wonderful cadence and pronunciation as well.
Thank you, Paul!
