Acerca de esta escucha
Stories of uncanny originality from a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
Pushing intimacy to its limits in prose of unearthly beauty, Vauhini Vara explores the nature of being a child, parent, friend, sibling, neighbor, or lover, and the relationships between self and others. A young girl reads the encyclopedia to her elderly neighbor, who is descending into dementia. A pair of teenagers seek intimacy as phone-sex operators. A competitive sibling tries to rise above the drunken mess of her own life to become a loving aunt. One sister consumes the ashes of another. And, in the title story, an experimental artist takes on his most ambitious project yet: constructing a life-size ark according to the Bible's specifications. In a world defined by estrangement, where is communion to be found? The characters in This Is Salvaged, unmoored in turbulence, are searching fervently for meaning, through one another.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken—with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity—is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes ’zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn’t seem to have a place for either of them.

For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.

William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him—so when he meets the spirited and ambitious Julia Padavano in his freshman year of college, it’s as if the world has lit up around him.

Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.

Good Not Great
The main challenged I faced when listening to Vauhini Vara’s This is Salvaged was that I had just finished Eric Walrond’s Tropic Death. Those stories transported me to a different time and place with pitch perfect narration while Vara’s underwhelmed me with their pedestrian prose which seldom sang. Deepa Samuel’s deadpan, drone like narration hurt. I couldn’t tell when one story ended and another began. There are no pauses or slow downs in narration. Only in the last several stories, just as What’s Next, did the stories and narration burn with a fiery intensity. Vara is an accomplished storyteller. I waited months for this collection. I’ll wait more for a better collection.

This book was not a good fit for my ears
Because this is a collection of short stories, it would have been better for ME to read it, probably. There’s no audio cue to signal transition between stories and it’s confusing in that way.
