I’m planning to listen to the Vigil by George Saunders. It is a full cast production.It is similar to Lincoln in the Bardo which was great on audio. Anyone interested in listening along with me? If so we can come with a finish date and discuss here. It is 5.5 hours long.
Hey, @Norma_R, I’d do a side listen with you. I’ve already read it, but I wouldn’t mind giving it another go. I’ve got a few more hours in the book I’m currently listening to, but could probably start it early next week (or later, depending on what works for you regarding timing).
Vigil
Yes I would like to have a conversation with you. I will start it in the next few days. We can see how we are progressing. No rush of course
Great! It’ll be next on my audio list. I’ll PM you when I start it.
I loved Lincoln in the Bardo but was so confused in the beginning that I had to start the audiobook over when I was half way thru! I have read a lot of Saunders & love how he surprises & challenges me. The same with Virgil, I had to restart after an hour or 2 because I did Not know WHAT was going on. The screaming Frenchman unsettled & confused me utterly but of course that’s part of the humor of Saunders and the unsettling of us is nothing new. I caught on more quickly with Virgil and might reread it again soon because like LITB, I know I am missing some bits.
