ALL THE PRETTY HORSES

A perfect balance of text and narrator is achieved between McCarthy’s story, the winner of the 1992 National Book Award, and Muller, the versatile narrator. Muller selects a pace echoing the horseback riders, who are the central focus. At this pace, the listener can savor all the eloquent descriptions of Texas and the Mexican landscape. The dialogue is handled with great ease in both Spanish and English. Characters, drawn with voice and speech patterns, are distinct but never overplayed. With Muller’s narration the text is truly enhanced and given added dimension. R.F.W. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JAN 93]
