Dos Passos

Starting 1919, the 2nd in the USA trilogy (as audio book). Remain overwhelmed by the achievement here. Extraordinary.

And I'm enjoying the audio book more than reading it, or as I recall my last reading years ago. For one, the Newsreel sections, which look like art collages when reading, now are performed and seem to be much more dramatic as a result. Indeed, this is a very poetic book, more revealed when listening than when reading, especially with such a good reader as the one engaged here (whose name, alas, I forget). This is becoming one of the better "aesthetic experiences" of my life.
