Book description
Hearing Wolf at the Table on audiobook isn't just listening-it's leaning in close as secrets unravel in the quiet hum of a 1950s New York kitchen. Adam Rapp (Pulitzer finalist, Tony Award winner) crafts a family saga where a single summer night-Myra, 13, meets a man who might be Mickey Mantle, then a triple murder happens down the street-shatters everything. And it echoes for decades.
The magic? The narrator's voice (a masterclass in subtle dread) makes you feel the weight of those postcards arriving in the mail: "Ominous portent" isn't just words-it's the sound of a mother's breath catching. You'll hear the creak of Myra's diner booth, the silence after Alec vanishes from the altar, the way Lexy and Fiona's lives splinter across class lines. Rapp doesn't just tell you about the American dream's cracks; he makes you hear the glass shatter.
This isn't just a story about a killer in the family-it's about how violence lives in the spaces between people. The way Myra's son Ronan grows up in a prison nurse's shadow. How the Larkins chase hope while ghosts whisper in the background. And the audiobook? It's immersive. You don't just read the grief-you feel it in the pauses, the hushed tones. That scene where a mother reads a postcard aloud? You'll hold your breath.
Rapp's prose is gorgeous acuity-sharp, tender, never sentimental. He cuts to the heart of each character, exposing how "good society" hides rot. And the ending? It lands like a stone in still water. Quiet. Devastating. You'll replay it.
If you love The Corrections meets We Need to Talk About Kevin but want it heard, this is it. A masterpiece of voice, tension, and the terrifying truth that monsters don't always wear masks. Just sit down. Press play. Let it sink in.
