About this listen

Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis' Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the New York Times bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway as well as a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then, Mame has taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world's most beloved, madcap, devastatingly sophisticated, and glamorous aunt. She is impossible to resist, and this hilarious story of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as delicious a listen in the twenty-first century as it was in the 1950s.

Racist Book

I was first enjoying the story but was soon taken back by exaggerated and stereotyped voices of Japanese characters which I thought may have been the result of the narrator trying to create nuance. It just got worse. Black characters were called racists slurs including the n word and one character saying he took back girls into his shed because he liked dark meat. This book should not be included in any library and certainly not audible.
