Silence and the Word Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Mary Anne Mohanraj (Author), Deepti Gupta (Narrator), Audible Studios (Publisher)
4.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

A collection drawing from the many areas of Mary Anne Mohanraj's work, Silence and the Word includes everything from enticing erotica to Sri Lankan-American immigrant tales, from romantic poetry to provocative essays, like “Esthely Blue” (a magical-realist semi-autobiographical story of sex, work, and disappearing body parts), “At the Gates of the City” (a Mormon ghost story), and the award-winning story “A Gentle Man” (an affecting tale of an immigrant father’s attempt to reconcile his own yearning for home with his children’s individual needs and desires). Mohanraj boldly explores sexuality, ethnicity, and their interactions with the human heart.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The reader - a woman - has a beautiful voice with perfect pronunciation which has a nice effect with erotic passages.

    A mix of erotic (classy, not down-and-dirty) and literary and science fiction themes. The reader does a great job with stories in the feminine voice of the author. "Johnny's Story", from an American male perspective doesn't work with this cultured feminine voice.

    I'm not critiquing the literary value -- although it's clearly high. I just enjoy her thoroughly accessible, mature and pleasing writing style.
