THIS OLD MAN All in Pieces

NEW YORKER columnist Roger Angell, now 95, was always more than a sports writer, and the topics in this collection cover a variety of subjects. The essays offer wonderful perspectives, and narrator Arthur Morey is a perfect fit. He shapes the thoughtful prose with the right inflections for the sadness, humor, and tributes Angell covers in his writings. Morey becomes almost an alter ego of sorts to the writer, shaping each passage and homage wonderfully. Listeners, even those who have read Angell's work for years, will learn more about him through this attentive narration. M.B. [Published: JANUARY 2016]
