When I read fiction or poetry that I admire, the kind of work that slows you down because you don’t want it to end, I wonder what the words sounded like in the writer’s mind. Not the sound of the writer’s voice, really, but the cadence, the hesitations, the emphasis, maybe even the chuckles. How did the writer savor his or her own words? Reader Views, an exciting new web service that captures the passion of writing, letting you hear writers themselves, has recorded me reading a crucial segment of Saraceno. You’ll hear Irene Watson, the managing editor, telling you a little about me and the book. I urge you to listen. I think you’ll enjoy the experience. Click here now.
