JIMI HENDRIX LIVE IN LVIV

Andrew Byron's voice sets the scene of a historic city with a culture steeped in both Europe and the East. His performance is transporting, embedding listeners in the city of Lviv, Ukraine. This fascinating place and its impact on its residents is the heartbeat of this quietly moving audiobook. Deeply drawn characters, including aging hippies, a former secret policeman, and a hairdresser, engage in their everyday lives with dreams and some regrets, while sharing a reverence for Jimi Hendrix. Making its debut in an English translation after publication over a decade ago, Kurkov's audiobook resonates more than ever. Byron captures the mood of the city's early morning streets, opulent opera houses, and coffee shops. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
