Editorial reviews

Featuring a full cast of actors including Ed Begley, Jr., Dan Butler, and Fred Willard, Forty-Two Stories tells the multitude of stories that fill a Chicago high-rise condominium. Douglas Post's diverse group of tales are filled with humor and heartache. Performed by L.A. Theatre Works, this audiobook is a testament to the success of ensemble cast audiobook productions. Arye Gross in particular steals the show, giving a performance worthy of Post's intriguing and intricate interwoven tales of staff members and residents trying to live and work together.
