I’m listening to the first Patrick Melrose novel by Edward St. Aubyn, Never Mind, narrated by Alex Jennings. It’s terrific, but you have to have a taste for extremely black humor and not mind reading about a couple of trigger issues, as the characters, one in particular, are monsters. This is a short listen, but I don’t think I’ll go right on to the next. I’d like to stretch them out.
I gather it’s been made into a tv show with Benedict Cumberbatch. What hasn’t he been in?
