Show Notes

Gilli Messer is a mesmerizing narrator for Sabrina Orah Mark’s dazzling collection of autobiographical essays. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how Messer captures the poetry of the mythology of the fairy tales in the essays and weaves in the author’s personal history to the tales. Mark’s accounts are animated by great fairy-tale characters such as Pinocchio, Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and many others. Mark details the complex history of her family, and between the essays, she includes conversations with her mother. A rewarding listening experience.
