Transcript

Hi, I’m Helen Laser and I would like to recommend the audiobook of Severance by Ling Ma, narrated by Nancy Wu. It is fantastic. The book is amazing. It is so unbelievable to me that it came out before COVID. The narration is wry and funny and so matter of fact, while in these extremely absurd circumstances, it’s fantastic, if you are able to listen to something that is about a pandemic. It’s wonderful. Highly recommend. So happy listening!

Narrator Picks are like “Staff Picks” in your local independent bookstore. Narrators choose an audiobook they did not work on and tell us why they loved it. Picks are opt-in and narrators are not compensated for their Pick.
