Book Description

The Bern Book is a travelogue, a memoir, a "diary of an isolated soul" (Darryl Pinckney), and a meditation on the myth and reality of race in midcentury Europe and America.In 1953, having left the US and settled in Bern, Switzerland, Vincent O. Carter, a struggling writer, set about composing a "record of a voyage of the mind." The voyage begins with Carter's furiously good-humored description of how, every time he leaves the house, he must face the possibility of being asked "the hated question" (namely, Why did you, a black man born in America, come to Bern?). It continues with stories of travel, war, financial struggle, the pleasure of walking, the pain of self-loathing, and, through it all, various experiments in what Carter calls "lacerating subjective sociology." Now this long-neglected volume is back in print for the first time since 1973.

Efficiency meets audiobooks – this app's functionality is a true winner. I'm blown away by the powerful audio downloading options. So versatile! Bookmarking my favorite parts of audiobooks is now a breeze. Love this feature! Sharing audiobooks with friends is a great way to connect over stories. Decent audiobook but I think I would have enjoyed reading it more. Some of the more subtle humor didn't quite land in the audio format.

This app's compatibility with various formats ensures that I can enjoy my audiobooks hassle-free. This app has made long flights and road trips so much more enjoyable. I can't get enough of this app's user-friendly interface – it's a true delight. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
