EVENINGLAND Stories

Narrator Scott Sowers depicts the people of the Deep South in seven new stories and a novella by critically acclaimed Alabama native Michael Knight. Sowers excels as Knight’s stories plumb the depths of the human heart by drawing on both the comedy and tragedy of living in Mobile. Sowers’s drawling pace suggests the heat and humidity of the area, and he portrays its population with insight. In one story, Sowers lets exhaustion and frustration leak into his voice as the cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill devastates the locals. Knight brings these stories to life by focusing on the details that make life both beautiful and horrific. R.O. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2018]
