OUT ON A LIMB

Ever wonder what your past life was like and how it affects the present one? Shirley MacLaine investigates her past and present with ancillary explorations of her inner self and inner spirit. The story line jumps from present to past and back again, and is interspersed with side trips and moralistic tales. MacLaine's slow, measured readings force listeners to slow down and pay attention, often lulling them into a meditative state. The quiet pace of the narrative is perfect for the text as MacLaine and the listener journey into the self. This journey is spiced by her sexual experiences with her married lover, Gerry, and her platonic friend, David. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 01]
