Book description
A Story Lately Told - Audiobook Review
Listening to Anjelica Huston's first memoir feels like stepping into a living, breathing scrapbook. Her voice-warm, slightly husky, and undeniably seasoned by decades on screen-guides us through an extraordinary childhood that reads as both mythic and intimate. The narration is not just a reading; it's a performance. Huston's tone shifts with the scenes: her Irish estate days are bright and playful, while the loss of her mother in a car crash pulls her into a quiet, almost aching stillness that reverberates through the audio.
The book's structure mirrors a film reel, with vivid snapshots of her parents' Hollywood world, the bohemian circles of her father John Huston's friends, and the cultural turbulence of 1960s London. When she describes her time in New York's Chelsea Hotel-modeling for Richard Avedon, navigating a relationship with photographer Bob Richardson-the sound of the city seems to pulse behind her words. The audiobook cleverly incorporates ambient sounds at key moments: distant jazz riffs when she recalls meeting the Rolling Stones or a soft footstep echo as she describes a quiet night in the hotel.
Critics have called it "gorgeously written" and "elegantly funny." Those adjectives translate beautifully into audio. Huston's humor lands with precise timing, and her anecdotes about meeting literary giants like Carson McCullers and John Steinbeck feel like backstage passes to a world many can only imagine. Her storytelling is not merely recollection; it is a dialogue between past and present, and the narrator's delivery keeps listeners engaged, as if she's sharing these stories over coffee.
The production quality deserves applause: crisp sound, no distracting edits, and a subtle background score that never overwhelms her voice. The pacing allows for reflection-especially during the more haunting chapters about loss and identity. If you're looking for an audiobook that blends cinematic storytelling with memoir depth, "A Story Lately Told" delivers. It invites listeners into Anjelica Huston's world, one breath at a time.
