THE EDGE OF THE SKY All You Need to Know About All-There-Is

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Bronson Pinchot

Contemporary Culture • 1.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2014

Theoretical cosmologist Roberto Trotta attempts to explain the cosmos (all-there-is) using only the 1,000 most common English words. While the concept may seem like a silly exercise, Bronson Pinchot's superb performance showcases what turns out to be a charming masterpiece of scientific storytelling. Pinchot introduces listeners to the 1,000 most commonly used words. His recitation takes on the quality of poetry, with its changing meter and playful inflections. Who knew a list could be so enchanting? From there, the story of all-there-is unfolds, and Pinchot's careful narration brings Trotta's creative wordplay to life so that listeners quickly learn to translate simple words into complex concepts. A treat for the imagination worthy of repeat listens. A.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2014]
