IN SENSORIUM Notes for My People

Tanaïs narrates their memoir about their personal life, the Covid-19 pandemic, and perfume. This material is intermixed with the complicated history of the Indian subcontinent. The overall effect of Tanaïs's soft voice and contemplative pace has a meditative effect on the listener. This work could be listened to while unwinding on long walks but perhaps not during road trips. The author is a master of language, whose long, fluid sentences are read with smooth, silky confidence that matches this exploration of memories tied to scent, places, and historical moments. For those who are looking for something unique in a memoir, this might be just the thing. M.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
