YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR Essays

Writer Morgan Parker, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, performs her latest work, a collection of essays that revolve around religious trauma, mental health, racial justice, and life as a single person in America. Her ideas are crafted with precision, and each piece in her collection feels intimate. Her performance further expresses her complex feelings, giving her ideas additional emotional weight. As she describes her long struggle to achieve mental health, listeners can hear her fight to hold on, to keep seeking help. This audiobook is a beautiful example of the magic that can happen when an author personally performs her essays. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2024]
