Written by James Joyce - Audio book performed by Jim Norton - Music: medieval carols, Wagner, Grainger, Berlioz, traditional Irish music Abridged Fiction - 3 COMPACT DISCS - 3 hours, 49 minutes Publisher, Naxos Audiobooks (1995) "This winning formula looks sure to continue with the release of 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.' Norton is so versatile; one minute a blubbering Dedalus, the next delivering a thunderous sermon on Hell, making the Church of England rendering look like a family trip to a theme park. The use of sound effects and music adds to the quality and atmosphere. Next stop Finnegans Wake?" --Robert Cooper, The Spectator "…a very enjoyable listening experience, beautifully read by Jim Norton." --The Bookseller "…beautifully read by the Irish actor Jim Norton. The sermon about the torments of hell was as horrifying as I remembered it…performances such as this are worthy of undivided attention." --The New Brunswick Reader, Canada |
