Brief Interviews with Hideous Men Free Audiobook Download by David Foster Wallace


Christopher Meloni, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Cerveris, Joey Slotnick, Joshua Ferris and Will Forte are just a few of the actors that recorded the audiobook. Some names you might recognize as actors (shocker), while others you may not know better as their voice is decidedly different from their films or TV appearances. Listening to this book is an interesting experience because it's unclear at times which characters are narrating at any given time. They actually have 8 different narrators voicing 8 different characters in one story about the importance of being a man for once in your life. It's a perfect read for those who want to indulge in something slightly experimental and think outside the box.
