Chuck’s collection is deft, meditative, and, on certain pages, laugh-out-loud funny.
I had the pleasure to look at an early copy of a new book of poetry, written by Chuck Ladd, titled A Quiet Place in Oklahoma. Then, we discussed which audition we liked best … and discovered we were in agreement! Pavi Proczko was our pick you can hear his performance of the novella’s introduction here. Later, the producer sent me three clips to review, each a different performer reading a short passage from the novella. Not that it should sound silly rather, I’m thinking of listening to someone speaking and, even though you can’t see their face, you feel somehow that they’re just on the verge of smiling … I think this narrator is very amused by humans and their vexations - by life, the universe, and everything - so, a sense of irony, of play, will be more appropriate than an entirely serious read. Earlier this year, I corresponded with the audiobook’s producer, who asked if I had any notions for the narrator’s voice. Here’s a peek behind the audiobook scenes.
