Ira Levin
À propos de cet audio
Ira Levin’s dark suburban tale remains as compelling—and frighteningly relevant—as ever. Psychological suspense mixes with elements of science fiction to create an extraordinary thriller tinted with Levin’s sly, satirical wit.
Few novels have enshrined themselves in the collective consciousness to the degree The Stepford Wives has. Levin’s biting critique has been spun off into countless film and television adaptations, from 1975’s original Katharine Ross filming to 2004’s Nicole Kidman offering—and its influence can be felt in later works from The Handmaid’s Tale to Get Out. Its title alone has become part of our common lexicon.
Joanna Eberhart is a creative, self-possessed wife and mother, newly arrived in seemingly idyllic Stepford, Connecticut. But as she and her family begin settling in, she’s jarred by the unaccountable sameness of the local wives: all flawlessly attractive, with perfectly maintained homes—and little seeming interest in anything else. As curiosity turns to concern, Joanna finds herself unraveling a web of malice that threatens her very existence.
Prepare to be captivated, unnerved, and utterly engrossed by Ira Levin’s dark and unforgettable modern classic, The Stepford Wives.
This edition includes an afterword by Peter Straub.

Histoire
It's 1942, and as far as her father knows, Evelyn Bishop, heiress to an aeronautics fortune, is working as a translator in London. In truth, Evelyn—daring, beautiful, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages—has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another, she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher, growing ever close to him until the war's end brings with it an act of deep betrayal.

Histoire
When a Category 5 hurricane is poised to hit their coastal Florida town, the Davies family takes refuge in their waterfront manse. Marlowe, Lee, and their teenage twins invite their close friends to wait out the storm in comfort and style. Uninvited are the three strangers who dock on the family’s shore right before the storm descends. Brothers Jason and Bo—and Bo’s girlfriend, Darcy—are a charming, helpful trio in need of a safe haven that the Davies are only too happy to provide. But as the storm outside grows more threatening, so does the tension in the house.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway.

It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.

It happens more than you might think. One second someone’s life is totally typical, the next it’s terribly tragic. Everything they had, everything they planned, everything they were, all of it vanishes in a flash. Shock and sorrow leave the victim staring into tomorrow’s void, wondering: How did it happen? Who did it? And why?

Max Maurey should be on top of the world. He's a famous horror director. Actors love him. Hollywood needs him. He's making money hand over fist. But it's the 80s, and he's directing cheap slashers for audiences who only crave more blood, not real art. Not real horror. And Max's slimy producer refuses to fund any of his new ideas. But when Max discovers an old camera that filmed a very real Hollywood horror, he knows that he has to use this camera for his next movie. The only problem is that it came with a cryptic warning and sometimes wails.

Liked It
This book has been on my reading list for a while - it's a true classic in the sci-fi-infused horror genre. Ira Levin wrote the book in the wake of rapid scientific advancement (including the moon landing and the advent of computers) and was inspired by a childhood filled with alien/monster invasion films.
The vocabulary/prose is impressive, the description is vivid, and Levin has a nice touch with suspense and macabre/occult conventions.
The book is disappointingly implausible, and there are some issues with pacing, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Doubtless, praiseworthy narration from January LaVoy adds to the quality of the book. She's occasionally overdramatic but reads the book with spot-on enunciation, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting.
Altogether, this 8/10-star recording of 'The Stepford Wives' was an excellent way to spend a quiet snowy afternoon. Even if it leaves the 'Plus' menu, it merits a Credit.

Still holds up
I suppose today this would be considered a novella but the fact that it holds up 50+ years after release says something about the talent of Ira Levin. Wickedly clever and well narrated as an audiobook (though occasionally the voice is a bit too quiet, it's not terrible). I would skip the Afterword which is tedious and unnecessary.

Elegantly Read and Perfectly Unsettling
I had read this novel decades ago, and after finishing Mia Farrow’s reading of Rosemary’s Baby (also superb) I was excited to see that a production of Stepford Wives was in the works- it did not disappoint. The narration is smooth, elegant and inviting as Stepford itself, with incredible range and personality for each of the characters — or a disquieting absence of personality, as the case may be…
