Magic surrealism
Read by Barry Yourgrau
"Haunted Traveller; An Imaginary Memoir" (Arcade Publishing) is Yourgrau latest book, which the New York Times Book Review called "strangely sublime." Yourgrau's previous book, "The Sadness of Sex," became a movie in which he starred with Peta Wilson, TV's "La Femme Nikita." He's also published two short fiction collections: "Wearing Dad's Head" and "A Man Jumps Out of An Airplane."
In these two recordings, Yourgrau hypnotically conveys his world of magical realism and heartfelt humanity. Both innovative and often bizarre stories, "Fog" and "At the Clockmakers" express an emotional truth that resonates.
