Book description
Hearts of Oak by Eddie Robson: A Delightful Exercise in Pointless Architecture
Eddie Robson, clearly tired of making people laugh through traditional comedy writing, has decided to solve the housing crisis through the power of talking cats and architectural metaphysics. Because nothing says "urban planning" like a mystical feline advisor to the king.
The audiobook version of Hearts of Oak delivers Robson's particular brand of whimsical nonsense with the same precision he brings to his Doctor Who audio dramas-except here, instead of time-traveling aliens, we get time-traveling buildings. It's like someone asked what would happen if Terry Pratchett and a city planner had a creative disagreement, and this book was their compromise.
Our protagonist Iona awakens from her architectural slumber to discover that her city has developed a case of chronic growth spurts, which is either a metaphor for urban sprawl or just another Tuesday in this particular corner of madness. The real mystery isn't why the buildings are growing-obviously it's the cat's fault-but why anyone is surprised by this revelation.
Robson's narration (yes, he reads his own audiobook) carries the same dry wit that made his radio comedy work so enjoyable, though one suspects reading about sentient construction projects aloud requires a special kind of commitment to absurdity. The performance manages to make bureaucratic mysticism sound almost reasonable, which is either a triumph of delivery or a warning sign about unchecked municipal development.
The book's greatest achievement is convincing readers that a story about talking animals and metaphysical real estate can be both completely ridiculous and oddly engaging. It's like watching a particularly earnest documentary about zoning laws, except the zoning laws are definitely haunted.
Perfect for anyone who's ever looked at their local planning department and thought, "You know what this needs? More cats. Definitely more cats."
