BLACK WATER

Black Water is a fictional recreation of a senator's tragic car accident which involves the death of a young woman, Kelly Kelleher. Amanda Plummer gives an artful and powerful performance. Her pace is well-measured, her words dramatically recreate the immense horror of Kelly Kelleher's last thoughts. The sound effects of water slowly dripping and the echo of a tunnel are chilling and heighten the emotional impact of this tale. The subject matter of this novel, like many others of Oates, may be difficult for some listeners to appreciate. A.A.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 93]
