Exit Interview with My Grandmother

On 76th Between Columbus and Amsterdam, a Ninety-Two Year Old Woman Is Reading Sally Rooney

De: Lily Meyersohn

Narrado por: Lily Meyersohn

Lily Meyersohn’s Exit Interview with My Grandmother is a rumination on young adulthood, through the prism of her relationship with her 92-year-old grandmother.

At once profoundly personal and far-reaching, Exit Interview with My Grandmother serves as a meditation on the beginning of a young woman’s life and the series of questions that arise from examining love, loss, family, memory, and death. Moving between cities and centuries, Meyersohn probes her family's Jewish history and her grandparents' relationships in part to decipher her own young queer relationships, but also to examine how we ought to behave in the face of a world riddled with uncertainty and doubt.

Comprising a personal narrative and an intimate, recorded conversation with her grandmother, Meyersohn’s essay confronts what it means for something to begin, what it means for something to end, and what we should hold onto along the way.

Loved the story!

Enjoyed the story very much! Didn't care for the authors speaking style/narration, but I liked hearing her grandma speaking.

Not what I expected

I felt like the book was more about the author than interviewing the grandmother, so it felt like it just rambled on.

Great Listen

Loved this story! It was told gracefully!! Three different generation are sad but amazing they survived.

Grandmother is engaging

This work will more likely resonate with a young adult like the writer herself. The most interesting parts were when the grandmother spoke and when the author talks about WWII family history.

My Grandmother

I loved the way the reading was so real and brought the story to life. The writing was like an intimate insight into conversations and thoughts inside the main character’s thought pattern. I want more from this author.

Great story

To get the opportunity to see into another's life, glimpses of what was. Peeks into what may be in the future is all we get. I enjoyed this book tremendously.

Wow

One of the best audible originals ever! Insightful, moving, funny. Will definitely give it a re-listen. Which I rarely do!

Wanting More

As a 74 year old grandmother With a seventeen years old granddaughter I wanted this to never end. Everything about it touched me.

Not what I expected

The title implied a book about the grandmother. I wanted to hear so much more about the grandmother. There were a few good thought provoking parts, but for the most part I was left wanting more of what I hoped for.

Dry

I found the author to be dry and lifeless. Which caused the story’s to be hard to follow
