HOME IN THE WORLD A Memoir

Narrator Steven Crossley's upper-class British accent brings an elevated tone to his narration of Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen's memoir. This is a wide-ranging meditation on various stages of Sen's fascinating life. Crossley takes us through Sen's upbringing as a Bangladeshi national who studied in India and England, and eventually worked in the U.S. Crossley's quick pace and crisp style capture the many stages of Sen's incredible life, along with his thoughts on refugees, migration, and global economies. Those who want to learn about the man behind this brilliant mind, as well as the history of the subcontinent, will enjoy these lively chapters. Crossley deftly balances the intimate and academic aspects of this multilayered production. M.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
