THE DISASTER TOURIST

Natalie Naudus is a quirky, spirited narrator who plays up the thread of comedy running throughout this unusual story about disaster tourism. She becomes Yona, a young Korean woman who finds herself working for a disreputable travel agency. Listeners are treated to a humorously presented view of a future in which tourists travel to disaster sites for entertainment. There is a lot of explaining about the company, Jungle, which Naudus manages to move listeners through quickly. She does so in order to get to the more interesting action related to Yona's increasing sense of danger. This is a strongly grounded story told by a narrator who presents exotic landscapes, people, and names with ease. M.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2020]
