What Audiobook Are We Listening To?
This week at Crash Symphony Productions, we’re listening to The Last Unicorn written by Peter S. Beagle and read by the very author. This audiobook brings to life Beagle’s classic magical tale of grief and loss.
It also happens to be one of Joanna Newsom’s favourite books.
My other favorite book is The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle. Incredible. One of the greatest literary meditations on beauty, sickness, mortality, loneliness, perfection, defection, bravery/heroism, regret, pity, purity, magic, and power, of all time. So there. The movie is my favorite, too, though for slightly different reasons. I actually just discovered that Mr. Beagle lives in Oakland, which is right near me, so I’m sort of hoping that somehow, someday, I might get to meet him…that would be so amazing…. — Tiny Mixtapes
