About this listen
Absurdly logical, mercilessly real, gathering its own tumultuous momentum for the ultimate brush with commodity training, JR captures the listener in the cacophony of voices that revolves around this young captive of his own myths. The disturbing clarity with which this finished writer captures the ways in which we deal, dissemble, and stumble through our words - through our lives - while the real plans are being made elsewhere makes JR the extraordinary novel that it is.

Nick Sullivan
The narration here is heroic. This audiobook would be so much worse without Nick Sullivan.

Incredible
This audiobook completely unlocked J R for me. What could easily have felt like overwhelming chaos in print came alive through the voices of the narrators. The shifting tones, the subtle pauses, and the nuances of each character’s dialogue brought clarity and rhythm to the text. Instead of struggling to differentiate the cacophony of voices, I found myself swept along in the absurd yet all-too-real world of financial scams, corporate greed, and clueless opportunism that Gaddis so masterfully builds.

Gaddis writes another masterpiece....
and it's even better when heard. JR is a dense and almost impenetrable text that has been unwrapped by Nick Sullivan. Instead of losing oneself in trying to figure out who is speaking to whom on paper, the audible version of JR shifts from different vocal ranges, making sure you can following the flow of the conversation while also identifying the characters. As a result, JR shines out as the great work of American postmodern realism it really is--each banal conversation sucks you into a world that is just as real as our own, yet which is different in radical and opening ways. Gaddis is one of the great kings of literature, and as he grows more and more relevant in our present epoch, he will only get more subjects.
