Acerca de esta escucha
A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made.
In that small apartment, Black and White, as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history, mining the origins of two fundamentally opposing world views. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men, though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is desperate to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life.
Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deceptively intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time.

Both brother and sister wander separately through a countryside being scourged by three terrifying and elusive strangers, headlong toward an eerie, apocalyptic resolution.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive.

Chance, the enigmatic gardener, becomes Chauncey Gardiner after getting hit by a limo belonging to a Wall Street tycoon. The whirlwind that follows brings Chance to his new status of political policy advisor and possible vice presidential candidate.

Historia
In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early 20s and retrieved from his private papers following his death in 1960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man.

For its own cosmic reasons, it decides to back up a decade to 1991, giving the world a 10-year case of deja vu, making everybody and everything do exactly what they'd done during the past decade.

In this funny, bawdy, moving audiobook set during the height of the Vietnam War, two career sailors in transit in Norfolk, Virginia - Billy "Bad-Ass" Buddusky and Mule Mulhall - are assigned to escort 18-year-old Larry Meadows from Norfolk to the brig in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he is to serve an eight-year sentence for petty theft. It's good duty, until the two old salts realize the injustice of the sentence and are oddly affected by the naive innocence of their young prisoner.

What would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount.

Add to this a sudden wave of hippies led by a murderous ex-con guru in search of psychic happenings, archaeologists unearthing (illegally) the Mayan tombs, and Louise and her weirdo husband’s quest for UFO sites, and Jimmy’s south-of-the-border existence is in danger.

Very well delivered
This is a beautiful conversation between two views of reality that can be neither proved or disproved. Each failing to persuade the other there is an impasse that rings true of many of our relationships. The ending is unsatisfying but true of many such encounters.

Listened to it twice!
Where does The Sunset Limited rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the first dramatic piece I've listened to, but it was excellent. You feel like you're in the room watching and listening to these two diverse men.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There are only two, but I feel more warmly towards the one they call Black, but I don't see how you couldn't. His role is to convince/save/outlast the other, and he has quite a few stories to tell. White/Professor, until close to the end, doesn't want to share or is unable to share his stories.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to others by any of these men, but it is not really narrated. More of a play.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Despite the fact that Black moves the story along, White/Professor is finally pushed to the wall at the end and out of frustration or need or urgency, something--he doesn't so much as explain but spews out his feelings of absolute disdain for his life. The listener, at least this one, understands him. Sad for him, but understands him. In that moment he doesn't seem sad --he seems as though there is no other way to live or not live his life. It's not "Nobody loves me"--more "I don't see how anyone cares about anything in this world."
Any additional comments?
This is such a rich story, I listened to it twice so that I could catch as much as possible of the intent. There is a sort of dark humor to it at times and Black is so certain of his faith, that God is right there with them, that it is clearly painful to him that he can't save this other man. A personal moment, a real living faith in God, in opposition to a personal moment, a real faith in desolation. I can't decide what will happen after White leaves. That isn't the point--it's a discussion of absolutes with no winner.
