Espach is a Wizard of Intimate Pain & Emotion!

I'm gutted to have finished this trilogy of short stories because I have lobed them and the phenomenal performances so very much. Espach truly is a maestro of heartbreak and reflection with the posthumous product interview being such a glorious amusing and disarming framing device.

All three stories have truly been perfection in short stories/ audio dramas and performances. I'm in awe. ( )

Excruciatingly Human (Complimentary)

This is the second story of this series I've read and I am so unbelievably in love with the concept, depth, writing style, and performances! The raw natural emotion this bizarre framing device creates for these little audio dramas is truly phenomenal.

This is an author I will be following closely. ( )

Total waste of time. The conceit that the person being interviewed was dead added nothing to the story. Am not sure what point the author was attempting to make with this story. The humor was sophomoric and the storyline seemed to have no purpose. ( )

In-Depth Market Research Interviews with Dead People by Alison Espach is an Audible Original. This Audible really made me think about what is important in life. Do you want boring all the time? What really makes you happy? If you knew you were going to die, would you do anything different? Buy something fun? Do something daring? Go see something new? It was a touching story, although short, it was powerful. ( )
