Complete audiobook review
Seasons of the Purgatory is a collection of nine short stories from the Iranian author Shahriar Mandanipour. It is not an easy read. Many of the stories are like they were taken from someone’s purgatory. Topics are pretty diverse and explore modern life, traditions, love, jealousy, atrocities of war, and more. Many are sad, brutal, or heartbreaking. Like always with short stories, some are better than others. But, for me, with every story, they were getting better.
I liked the writing. The narrator is a Canadian-Iraqi actor Fajer Al-Kaisi. His voice is clear and easy to listen to. He uses some minor differences in pronunciation, so it sounded more authentic. I liked it.
Thanks to HighBridge Audio for the ALC and this opportunity! This is a voluntary review and all opinions are my own.
