Between the World and Me Free Audiobook Download by Ta-Nehisi Coates


The narrator's voice is a constant and insistent presence. It is the voice of a man with a son, burdened by the weight and agony of blackness--a man who is tired of being alone in his pain, tired of being told that he should be grateful for what they have while they are still afforded opportunity, tired of the "they" telling him that he should like his life because it has never been so prosperous.

Ta-Nehisi Coates narrates his novel in the voice of his son. When he was preparing for a prison visit, Coates realized the power of this voice and its ability to tell a story in a way that words can't. A few weeks before the release of Between The World And Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote an op-ed piece in which he read it aloud to his 11 year old son.
