Danielle McLaughlin brings us into the witty, richly drawn world of U.S. writer Eudora Welty. With her unmistakable Southern voice and razor-sharp character sketches, Welty’s stories like The Ponder Heart and Why I Live at the P.O. reveal the humor, heartbreak, and human oddities of small-town life. We unpack the charm of her unreliable narrators, larger-than-life characters like Uncle Daniel and Bonnie D., and the fine line between comedy and tragedy.

Bold authors have been lying to their readers for years and somehow, we love every moment of it. The unreliable narrator is a tricky narrative device for authors to handle, but when it’s used well, the results speak for themselves. Red Szell of AMI-Audio’s My Life in books joins Jacob Shymanski as they share their favourite examples of stories that only work because of their unreliable narrators. Books mentioned in this episode: Lolita — Vladimir Nabokov Life of Pi — Yann Martel The Turn of the Screw — Henry James Frogs for Watchdogs — Seán Farrell The Wasp Factory — Iain Banks Gone Girl — Gillian Flynn The Girl on the Train — Paula Hawkins Pimp: The Story of My Life — Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck) Atonement — Ian McEwan American Psycho — Bret Easton Ellis Gillespie and I — Jane Harris AMI Audiobook Review is broadcast on AMI-audio in Canada and publishes three new podcast episodes a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet has been quoted at weddings, funerals, and spiritual retreats for over a century, but how does it hold up for today’s reader? Jacob Shymanski and Aamer Khan explore eight chapters from the 1923 classic that leave the two of them equally inspired and frustrated. From Gibran’s philosophy on talking, to the lofty paradoxes of freedom and beauty, his poetic language may be confusing more than clarifying the universal truths.

When novelists borrow from real horror… Red Széll joins us to trace the tangled line between actual crime and literary fiction. From 19th-century murder pamphlets to modern thrillers like Sadie and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, does storytelling serve truth better when it breaks free from fact?
