Reading this book, I had a vision of a land, heretofore sunk in the mists of muteness, suddenly rising up into the eminence of song. Innumerable books have been written about the South; some good books have been written in the South. This book is the South. . . . . Part One is the primitive and evanescent world of Georgia. Part Two is the threshing and suffering brown world of Washington. . . . Part Three is Georgia again . . . this black womb of the ferment seed: the neurotic, educated, spiritually stirring Negro. From the Forward by Waldo Frank (4 hr 40 min)

close but not really?

Idk why this reader is not accurately reading the text? He’s missing entire sentences and changing the words the author used, which is honestly not how I hope a book will be read. I don’t know if there and different versions of the text but page numbers change more than the words really do in my experience. There’s many times where he’s changed the word “ladies” into girls and that changes the tone of the text and shows me more about the reader than the novel.

The style did not really work for me. The parts seemed disjointed to me. The reader's cadence and enunciation didn't help.
