Book description
Mark Haber's Lesser Ruins arrives as a perfectly timed companion for the audiobook listener, weaving a deeply personal meditation on grief and creativity that resonates through the spoken word. Following the loss of his wife, retired professor David returns to his life's work: a book reframing Montaigne for today. But his focus is fractured. The hum of smartphones, his son's EDM ambitions, and the relentless ghosts of his past-college struggles, Berkshires artist colonies, coffee-fueled late nights-crash through his carefully constructed solitude. Haber masterfully translates this internal chaos into audio, where the narrator's voice captures the professor's caffeine-fueled haze, the way memories surge and recede like tide pools. You hear the acrid humor in his observations about Holocaust art or sculptors chasing escape, the absurdity of his son's laptop beats competing with Montaigne's essays. This isn't just a story about writing a book; it's a spiral into how we grapple with meaning when the world insists on interrupting us. The audiobook format is essential here-the rhythm of the prose, the pauses filled with self-doubt, the sharp wit delivered with quiet resignation-all land with profound intimacy. Haber, author of Reinhardt's Garden and Saint Sebastian's Abyss, proves again he's a master of the quiet, devastatingly human moment. Lesser Ruins doesn't just describe the ache of loss or the drive for artistic legacy; it lets you feel it in the space between words, as if the narrator is speaking directly to you over coffee, the ghosts of his desk still whispering. It's a testament to how art, even in its lesser ruins, remains our most vital compass through the fog.
