Book description
The Big Time by Fritz Leiber: Audiobook Review
Picture this: a cosmic jukebox where the songs are reality itself, and the DJs are locked in an eternal playlist war. That's roughly what Fritz Leiber's "The Big Time" sounds like when it's not trying to melt your brain through your earbuds.
The audiobook throws you straight into what can only be described as temporal trench warfare, where two factions-the Spiders and the Snakes-have been duking it out across the timeline for a cool two billion years. It's like a history channel documentary, if the history channel was run by caffeinated deities with anger management issues.
Our narrator guide through this chronological chaos is Greta Forzane, who's essentially the cosmic equivalent of a backstage caterer at a really, really long-running concert. She and her fellow Entertainers serve as neutral ground zero-outside space, outside time, and apparently outside the laws of narrative decency.
What makes this audiobook particularly entertaining is how Leiber treats memory as the universe's most unreliable narrator. Your past isn't just subjective; it's actively being rewritten by temporal tourists who think they know better. It's the kind of existential crisis that makes you check your own memories like you're proofreading a term paper written by someone having a nervous breakdown.
The production quality matches the story's gonzo energy-voices swirl around you like time-traveling gossip, and the pacing keeps you slightly off-balance, which is exactly right for a tale about reality's questionable reliability.
Leiber's prose zips along with the enthusiasm of someone who's just discovered you can break physics if you ask it nicely. The author, who also gave us sword-swinging barbarians and feline aliens with questionable intentions, clearly enjoys turning the universe into his personal Etch A Sketch.
This isn't so much audiobook as audio experience-like taking a philosophy class taught by someone who's simultaneously stoned and having a revelation. Your memory might not be trustworthy, but this story will definitely remember you.
