Jennifer Kennedy answers “I really tried, but istening to this book...”

Cate Poe asked this question about Lincoln in the Bardo:

I really tried, but istening to this book is impossible. I want to appreciate the voices, the story, but I can't get past the format. Like wading through footnotes. Is it possible to ignore the format when you READ it? About to throw in the towel and get a refund.

Jennifer Kennedy I don't think I could listen to this book. It is beautifully written with a unique format that lends itself to being read. …moreI don't think I could listen to this book. It is beautifully written with a unique format that lends itself to being read. (less)
