If you don't know who David Rakoff is, you won't find out from the packaging of this CD. He is an essayist and contributor to public radio's "This American Life"--a gay, Jewish, witty, and skeptical observer of the ephemeral world of the pseudo-cognoscente. Here he reads selections from his vividly scribed anthology of the same name in a world-weary near-monotone, except when he treats the listener to one of his frequent, hilariously accurate impersonations of his dramatis personae. The lesser pieces are merely glib, the best ones--his flight from chicken droppings on an Israeli kibbutz, his youthful term as a publishing house gofer, a New Age seminar led by martial artist Steven Seagal--conjure up droll sensory impressions and delightful shocks of recognition. Y.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
