Harriet Jacobs
Harriet Jacobs’ autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs’ depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.

What made the experience of listening to Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the way that the narrator told the story, it made me feel as though I was experiencing the history of slavery in a whole new light of what I was taught and learned about slavery in High School and the Telemedia of today.Who was your favorite character and why?
Linda Brent (Harriet Jacobs), because she endured so much hardship and pain at such young age; and prevailed to the very end of her freedom from the hand of slavery.What does Audio Élan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If you could sum up Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, insightful, disturbing.What was one of the most memorable moments of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl?
When the narrator describes the slave woman who is tied up by her thumbs and whipped to death.Have you listened to any of Audio Élan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't. I didn't find her narration very interesting. It actually hurt the story rather than helped it. Eventually I finished the audio book but not without a struggle as I found her voice to be very annoying.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book moved me.Any additional comments?
Great read! Wish the narrator was different. But I loved the story nonetheless.Great book!
