Behind The Mic Podcast: HOW I WON A NOBEL PRIZE

Editors and reviewers from AudioFile Magazine give their recommendations for the best audiobook listening.

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how Fortgang gets the tone just right for the story’s protagonist, a self-referential narrator with a sense of the absurdity of her situation and plight. A brilliant scientist, Helen follows her mentor to a research university set on an imaginary island, a kind of home for anti-woke academics and other culture warriors. A fun and worthwhile listen.

Lauren Fortgang performs Julia Taranto’s clever satirical novel with a quick pulse and snappy cadence.
