Ill Fares the Land

Tony Judt, read by James Adams, HighBridge Audio, unabridged, one CD, 5.75 hrs., $9.91 ISBN 978-1-61573-119-0

James Adams delivers a noteworthy performance in this audio version of Judt’s manifesto on how humanity has arrived at a potentially disastrous place in history and how we must rework out contract with society and the state to preserve our economy and our environment for future generations. Adams’s reading is compelling and confident; he is elucidative without being didactic. With a steady pace and reflective tone, he expertly brings to the reader the late Judt’s cri de coeur for the Left to revitalize and reorganize itself. A Penguin Press hardcover. (June)
