THE PROFESSOR IN THE CAGE Why Men Fight and Why We Like to Watch

The premise sounds like the start of a joke: What happens when an English professor decides to enter a mixed martial arts fight? But Gottschall's memoir on academia, masculinity, and identity is a fascinating listen. The book is amply enhanced by Quincy Dunn-Baker's narration. His strong, deep voice captures the personal, professional, and philosophical challenges that Gottschall considers as he recounts his physical training and research. Dunn-Baker provides a great voice for Gottschall, but his vocal choices for other people can sound a little uncertain as there are sometimes no clear indications from the text why he chooses the particular voices that he does.
