Book description
Jonathan Katz's indie phenomenon Cleave the Sparrow explodes onto the audiobook scene with the force of a political scandal gone cosmic. Already crowned a #1 Amazon bestseller and winner of the 2025 Literary Titan Gold Award, this is no ordinary satire-it's a mind-bending, laugh-out-loud tour de force that demands to be heard.
Hollywood Book Reviews calls it "uproariously funny and incredibly prescient," a description that hits perfectly in audio. The premise? A disastrous presidential candidate's death unleashes a chaotic quest. His apprentice, Tom, and his ruthless campaign manager, Shelly, must follow the late candidate's bizarre final order: hunt for reality's hidden truth. What unfolds is pure, unrelenting chaos.
San Francisco Book Review nails it: this is "daring, unpredictable, and utterly consuming." And it's even more potent as an audiobook. The narration masterfully channels the book's frenetic energy, turning philosophical debates into urgent, almost frantic conversations. You feel the absurdity, the pressure, the sheer weirdness of chasing reality through a political corpse's final instructions. The dark humor lands with brutal precision-reviewers note it's "so sharp it draws blood," and the audio format makes those biting lines land harder, leaving you both gasping and guilty for laughing.
Literary Titan's Priscilla Evans captures the essence: this isn't just a story. It's an experience that "scrambles your brain and leaves you questioning everything." The audiobook delivers exactly that. The pacing never lets up, the voice acting embodies the characters' escalating panic and wit, and the philosophical depth-wrapped in political farce-becomes impossible to ignore. You're not just listening to a book; you're trapped in its chaotic, brilliant, and deeply unsettling world.
With over 7,000 copies sold in four months and a million pages read on Kindle Unlimited, Cleave the Sparrow isn't just trending-it's reshaping how we think about satire. It's the rare audiobook that's not just entertaining, but essential: a sharp, hilarious, and deeply unsettling mirror held up to our own fractured reality. Don't just read it. Listen. And prepare to have your perspective permanently, wonderfully, unsettled.
