A fine example of an audio autobiography and biography from Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam, and Paul Simon. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this intimate and conversational audiobook that is full of music, letting listeners hear Paul Simon’s stories told through songs. Malcolm Gladwell intersperses historical and biographical facts that give greater context to the musician’s comments. The work is a window on one individual, and on the concept of musical genius.
