TO BUILD A FIRE

Jack London's eerie short story of life and death in the Yukon cold is brought to a vivid new level. This audio presentation is fully scored with music which could easily stand alone and is narrated to perfection. The slow, low voice of Gonneau, enhanced with the slightest trace of accent, is paced to capture every nuance of confidence, fear, panic and resignation. This combination creates a haunting tone which enlivens every phrase and makes the experience of the literature, the music and the spoken word endure. For any sceptic of the power of the audio format, this is an excellent response. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 92]
