CALL ME ZEBRA

A headstrong, cultured young woman named Zebra is thrown into exile as war rages between Iran and Iraq. Packed with literary references and unlikely juxtapositions, Leila Buck's sardonic delivery gives us a flavor of Zebra's character. Her style suits Zebra's standoffish attitude towards society and her difficulty accepting change. From Iran to the U.S. to Spain, Buck sets a fast pace that keeps one listening for the next twist in the story. When Zebra meets her match in Ludo, listeners will be hanging on to find out if love can soothe the unrest that has plagued the global nomad. The story is funny, sad, and educational as Buck takes listeners on this whirlwind journey of finding a home somewhere in the world. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
