Read by Dion Graham

When the author's parents die of cancer within five weeks
of each other during his senior year of college, he finds
himself the guardian of his younger brother. They move
from Chicago to California, and the culture shock provides
the impetus for this memoir. Narrator Dion Graham has a
deep voice that is both riveting and unsettling. His
performance harkens back to the days of the Beat Poets by
transforming the words on a page into a vibrant experience
complete with character voices, rhythmic paragraphs, and
asides that sound like run-on sentences but are actually
thoughts and feelings and jokes and, well, life. It's a
tour de force for Graham and Eggers, and a golden
opportunity for listeners everywhere.
