March 15th
Dear Diary,
Just finished listening to Alexander Key's "The Golden Enemy" and I'm still processing the experience. What a remarkable audiobook this turned out to be.
Key, who apparently illustrated before turning to writing, crafts stories that feel both timeless and urgently relevant. The narrator's voice brought such depth to this tale of the last bear's quest for vengeance against humanity. You can hear the raw pain in the bear's roar, the ancient wisdom in his growls about mankind's cruelty.
What struck me most was how the boy protagonist disobeys his elders - a classic Key theme - to seek out this golden enemy. The audiobook format really amplifies the intimacy of that moment when boy meets bear. There's something primal about hearing their communication unfold through voice alone.
Key's background in illustrating children's books shows in his vivid storytelling, even when dealing with heavy themes like extinction and revenge. The North Carolina mountain setting he's known for provides a perfect backdrop for this wilderness tale.
The author's belief in animal consciousness shines through every chapter. You understand exactly why this bear has turned against humanity, and yet you sympathize with both sides. Key's talent for making the alien feel human - and the human feel alien - is on full display here.
This isn't just a story about a boy and a bear. It's Key's meditation on prejudice, destruction, and understanding. The audiobook brings all these layers to life in a way that feels both personal and epic.
Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates thoughtful science fiction with heart.
Yours in literature,
A Fellow Reader
