Publisher's Summary

In "Beatnik Wife," a captivating short story by the acclaimed Robert Silverberg, listeners are transported to the tumultuous transition of the 1960s, where cultural upheaval reshapes lives and relationships.

Narrated with poignant clarity by Mike Vendetti, this audiobook delves into the intricate dynamics of a marriage between Dennis, a 27-year-old man set in his traditional ways, and Marie, a spirited 19-year-old who is drawn to the liberating ideals of the burgeoning counterculture. As their worlds collide, the story vividly explores the tensions and misunderstandings that can arise from differing values and aspirations.

Richly infused with the spirit of the era, "Beatnik Wife" is a poignant reflection on love, identity, and the quest for personal freedom amid a changing landscape. Perfect for those yearning for a compelling narrative that captures both the personal and the societal shifts of a defining decade.
